FAQ

When are classes scheduled?
New! Classes are now offered during “twilight hours” for students who wish to balance full-time work with their studies. Designed with the professional in mind, classes are conveniently scheduled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 4:00 PM. Students have the option to apply their new skills and knowledge through a paid co-op work term.

How long is the program?
The program is offered over 2 semesters, starting in September, January, and May. The academic program consists of two consecutive four-month terms. Students in co-op complete their co-op term in the four months following completion of the academic program. There is no scheduled break.

Are classes online or in-person?
All classes follow a hybrid course format which combines both in-person and out-of-class activities to reinforce student learning and development. The out-of-class component usually involves a wide range of learning activities, but often includes an online component. The face-to-face component enables relationship building and professional networking.

What would I learn?
With hands-on learning, the program integrates advanced concepts and provides exposure to key functional areas in project management, preparing students for leadership roles in project management. Students develop a critical understanding of the principles, performance domains and knowledge areas according to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)®.

The combination of in-class and practical elements of project management enables students to acquire creative, practical and advanced expertise that contribute to the effective management of the critical elements and ensure overall project success. As part of the curriculum, students are engaged in a real-world project which serves as a vehicle for incorporating and applying skills obtained during their academic studies and providing an opportunity to handle real-life situations.

Is there a work component to the program?
Yes. This program offers students an opportunity to apply for and secure a co-op position. Co-op positions are four-month, full-time, paid work terms which allow students the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge developed during the program. Students must meet and maintain co-op eligibility requirements, details found here: https://www.algonquincollege.com/coop/coop-entry/project-management/.
