ALEXANDRIA, ANNANDALE, LOUDOUN, MANASSAS, WOODBRIDGE The Project Management Certificate Program provides you with skills you can apply immediately, helping your organization meet both internal and external challenges. These courses use the vocabulary and methodology of the latest version of the Project Management Institutes Body of Knowledge (PMBOK version 5, 2012).

The courses offered cover these processes by addressing in detail the following project management Knowledge Areas: planning and managing integration, scope, time, cost, risk, human resources, and communications.

Successful Delegation
Delegating effectively is a critical skill (that falls under the organizing function) that a manager or team lead should master for success on the job. It reduces a managers workload and develops employees skills, knowledge, job satisfaction and commitment to the organization if handled correctly. Mastering delegation is also a key skill for those who want to advance to higher levels of management opportunity within an organization. Learn how to identify why managers fail to delegate; examine the concepts of responsibility, authority, and accountability; learn and apply the four major steps in the delegation process; examine the common mistakes made during the delegation process; decide what to delegate and how to do it successfully; match delegated tasks with abilities and avoid reverse delegation; recognize the types of responsibilities that cant be delegated; and learn how to monitor progress without over managing.

Organizational Leadership
Motivation cannot occur in a vacuum! For things to happen in an organization, effective leadership must be exhibited. Today many supervisors and managers use a less effective leadership style than they could be using, often because they dont have the necessary skills or dont even realize the benefits of using other styles. Topics in this course include: effective leadership; organizational mission; objectives and values; measuring success; communicating the need for change; increasing human potential; leader as a coach, mentor, and director; and the use of power and authority.

Rich Yuras Rider Coach describes his experiences of riding a motorcycle for 44 years: I can say that riding has been nothing but fun, excitement, and enjoyment. During my motorcycle travels, Ive had the opportunity to meet many interesting people, some of them expressing a wish that they could learn how to ride. Now, I can assist those individuals who always wanted to ride. As a rider coach, I have a major responsibility and commitment to the students, their families and the community to ensure that the students have the knowledge and repeatedly demonstrate the skills necessary to become a safe and responsible novice rider. One of my reasons for becoming a rider coach is seeing the excitement that the students display as they fulfill their dream of becoming a motorcyclist.
