CompTIA Project+ certification is a global credential for project managers, and those who manage projects as part of their job role. Based on best practices of project management, the exam incorporates universal project management principles, and includes important people skills such as conflict resolution, negotiation, communication, team building/leadership, and setting and managing expectations.

Industry research indicates that 74 percent of all projects come in over budget or are overdue, while 28 percent of projects fail altogether. Proper training and certification can significantly reduce these risks because certified professionals have the knowledge to successfully overcome obstacles and complete projects on time and within budget.

The goal of this certification training track is to provide students with all the tools necessary to tackle any Project Management task, regardless of the size or scope of the project or the job field for which it is intended.
