Pre-project management education opportunity through MCA America
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
MCAC and MCAA both recognize that for small to medium sized member companies, sometimes sending a project manager away for a week or more of off-site training simply isn’t practical. The good news is, there’s an alternative.
The Preparatory Institute for Project Management is designed to provide an accessible, strong foundation in mechanical project management education. Course materials are delivered in weekly 90-minute sessions, without a PM even having to leave their desk.
MCAC is thrilled to announce that through a partnership with MCAA, our Canadian members are welcome into the program.
This 12-week online course covers topics fundamental to successful project management that are applicable regardless of company size. The team of contractor/instructors have a broad range of work experience. Many have spent time in small and medium-sized family-owned businesses. Classes are live – never recorded – and student interaction is a critical component of the program.
This program will provide value whether a member contractor’s operation is small, medium or large. From planning and time management, to scheduling and close-out, the lessons learned are applicable across the board.
Here’s what previous attendees have said about the program:
"The Pre-IPM course was a great course to take. It did a fantastic job of covering common topics/issues that PMs face every day and gave many tools to manage these things as a beginning PM.”
"I love that it was a road map for what it means to be a PM, with a clear path to being successful. PM has always felt like the wild west, fake it till you make it. This class showed me there is a standard. I also am excited to be implementing many of the things I learned.”
Over the past 20 months, Pre-IPM has welcomed students from 300 MCAA member companies from all across the US. The 2022 Pre-IPM courses begin in May, and registration is open now. Space is limited and the registration cut-off date is April 11.
