The CompTIA Project+ course provides a practical introduction to project management. It equips delegates with the knowledge and skills required to contribute effectively to projects of different sizes and levels of complexity.
Unlike qualifications focused on a single project management methodology, CompTIA Project+ provides broad, vendor-neutral knowledge that can be applied across a wide range of industries, technologies and project environments.
The course is particularly relevant to IT professionals and other team members who manage or contribute to small and medium-sized projects as part of their wider role.
Delegates will explore the complete project lifecycle, from discovery and initiation through planning, execution, monitoring and closure. The course covers project scope, schedules, resources, costs, risks, issues, changes, quality, procurement, communication and stakeholder management.
Project+ also introduces Agile, Waterfall and other project delivery approaches, along with the tools, documents and professional skills required to work effectively within project teams.
The course includes relevant IT and governance considerations, such as information security, data privacy, compliance, cloud environments, operational change control and environmental, social and governance factors.
The course prepares delegates for the CompTIA Project+ PK0-005 certification examination and provides transferable project management skills that can be applied across technical and non-technical environments.
