Why you should participate in accredited training...

An accredited course is one that has been approved by a professional body. Studying a course which has been accredited by a relevant body could give you a head start when it comes to getting a job or promotion in the project management industry.

Accredited courses count towards professional qualifications or registration with a professional body which can benefit you in your career and, in some cases, be a legal requirement of the profession.

The right professional qualifications and registrations can help make you more desirable to employers and clients whether that s a case of being offered a higher salary bracket, the chance of a promotion or just getting your foot in the door in the first place.

Professional bodies aren t just there to keep unqualified people out: they also offer help and support throughout your career through things like training courses and lectures and preparing you for employment within that profession. They set, and then ensure maintenance of, standards. Without an accreditation, you cannot be sure that what you are learning is accepted best-practice. You cannot be sure that the subject matter isn t wrong. You cannot be sure that you aren t wasting your money on a course that at best means nothing, and at worst results in you becoming less effective in managing projects.

Using a training provider who has been accredited to deliver project management courses, ensures that you are learning with an organisation that has been officially recognised for their competency and best practice and whose material has the kite mark of quality on it. You can feel confident that you are in expert hands.

Simply put, accreditation is value.
