An AGC Construction Learning Tool for the Emerging Project Manager

The five-course program covers the essentials of project management for emerging project managers and provides a solid foundation for long-term career development.

PMDP participants are likely to have various titles depending on the kind of work they perform, the geographical location of their projects, and the size of their company.
