“The RMCP® certification demonstrates to your employer (current or potential), and your stakeholders, that you are trained and up to date on the best practices of your craft – Resource Management. Resource Managers must be competent in both knowledge and hands-on skills experience associated with their professional craft; and the RMCP® certification is the equivalent to the foundation of a home. It doesn’t stop there – you must maintain that foundation by recertification so that the foundation doesn’t crumble. Maintaining your RMCP® certification acts as an extended warranty, or insurance, that you stay relevant in your craft and are current on Resource Management industry trends.”
Kimberly Carrieri, Director, Americas Resource & Skills Management Lead at Dell Technologies.
“As an IT professional with many years in Project & Portfolio Management, I thought I had a solid understanding of Resource Management concepts. However, it wasn’t until I completed the RMCP® certification program that I realized that was not the case and there was so much more to learn. Thanks to the RMCP® certification program, I have been able to build our RMO and take the Resource Management practice in our department to a level I would have never imagined.”
Orlando Quesada, IT Capacity & Resource Planning Manager at UKG.
“I attended the course in Cincinnati this past April and benefited tremendously. I’ve just hired two new people to build out our Resource Management function and would like them to attend the next class and become certified as well.”
