Training and Certification Programs

Because project managers (PMs) are among PB's most valued resources, the firm established a three-level Project Management Development program in 1992 to help them excel. The program enhances PM training, recognizes achievements and formalizes a PM career ladder. Certification requirements include completion of training modules; PM experience; proven, effective client relations; and a record of financially successful projects.

PB has also designed a Project Administrator Development program to help administrators enhance expertise, earn certification and climb a career ladder. This program offers three levels of accreditation based on training and experience, with requirements including project management courses and a four-day training program.

PB's Business Development University offers a formal career development framework for marketing, sales and communications staff. The program offers three levels of certification and provides metrics for comparing PB's various business development positions, along with guidelines for staff to measure and enhance their skills and a guide for managers to identify development needs.

Through the Administrative Certification program, the firm nurtures and mentors administrative staff in the fundamentals of PB's business as well as in skillful, efficient administration. The program offers three levels of certification based on experience, training modules, mentoring efforts and service to the community and industry organizations.

The CADD Associate Certification program recognizes PB staff for their abilities using CADD (Computer-Aided Design and Drafting) software in their normal work environment. The three-level program's requirements include formal and company training, authoring published articles, and the management or support of CADD staff, systems and projects.
