USC's Project Management Certificate program was essential in helping me qualify for and pass my PMP exam! The PMP study material can be repetitive and memorization-heavy, but instructor Tony Bryant made the class engaging, interactive, and fun. The opportunity to network with other PMP aspirants from across the state was a wonderful bonus that I wouldn't have had with another program. - Lindsey Rambow, July 2022 participant
