PMI

Education To Go (ed2go) is pleased to announce that we are an approved Registered Education provider (R.E.P.) through the Project management Institute (PMI®). PMI® sets global standards for project management and has preapproved a number of ed2go courses and career training programs for professional development units (PDUs). The Project Management Institute’s review and approval of this curriculum ensures that they meet PMI®’s expectations for professional development in project management. PDUs can be used to apply for a PMI® certification or to renew an existing certification.

Each student who successfully completes one of the approved courses/programs will receive a separate ed2go Certificate with PDUs that are recognized by the Project Management Institute. This certificate is in addition to the Certificate of Completion available for online courses and the Certificate of Completion issued by the partner school for career training programs.

Each course/program that has been approved by PMI® now shows their logo and information about the approval on the ed2go website. In addition, ed2go is now included in the database at the Project Management Institute’s website as an approved R.E.P.

This approval from the Project Management Institute is further validation of our commitment to providing customers with quality, engaging online instruction.”

“PMI’s recent survey of training providers shows that 80 percent of organizations seeking project management training strongly prefer to work with PMI R.E.P.s. They view their affiliation with PMI, the leading standard-setting professional association for project management, as a stamp of quality on the training services they purchase,” said Edwin Andrews, Ph.D., director of academic and educational programs and services at PMI. “Organizations want to protect their investment in project management training, and they know that a PMI R.E.P. delivers this training in a cost-effective and efficient manner.”
