Delivered in four, four-week modules, with a one week break in between each, UWaterloo's Certificate in Project Leadership was developed with the demands of today’s real world in mind.  It combines project leadership and project management content into one, robust and comprehensive program that prepares students to sit the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional examination. 

Further, graduates of the Certificate in Project Leadership program benefit from not only the necessary process-oriented knowledge as defined by PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), but also the all-important softer skills and knowledge required to manage the many human and organizational issues that can contribute to overall project failure or success.
