The Preparatory Institute for Project Management Online: Registration Now Open for the Last Class of 2023!

July 3, 2023

Registration is now open for the final Preparatory Institute for Project Management of the year. Classes will take place Mondays and alternate Wednesdays from August 21st to October 18th. Register your Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, new hires, or people transitioning to the office from the field or estimating today, before spaces fill up.

This online introductory course covers topics fundamental to successful project management that are applicable regardless of company size. Our team of contractor-instructors have a broad range of work experience and many of them have spent time in small and medium-sized family-owned businesses. Classes are live – never recorded – and student interaction is a critical component of the program.

The Pre-IPM will provide value whether a member contractor’s operation is small medium or large. From Planning & Time Management, to Scheduling and Close-Out, the lessons learned in Pre-IPM are applicable across the board. As our students have told us:

“The Pre-IPM course was a great course to take.  It did a fantastic job of covering common topics/issues that PMs face every day and gave many tools to manage these things as a beginning PM.”

“I love that it was a road map for what it means to be a PM, with a clear path to being successful. PM has always felt like the wild west, fake it till you make it. This class showed me there is a standard. I also am excited to be implementing many of the things I learned.”

Because attendance at all lectures is required for certification, all potential students should review the schedule of dates on the Pre-IPM webpage before enrolling to ensure they have no conflicting commitments. Registration takes place on a first-come, first-served basis – and classes fill quickly. Visit the Pre-IPM webpage to sign up your APMs, PEs, and new hires today!
