In a significant move to promote project management training in Sri Lanka, CICRA Education and Project Management Institute Colombo Sri Lanka (PMICSL) signed a memorandum of understanding last week in Colombo.
Under this partnership, CICRA – a premier cyber security education provider in Sri Lanka – will offer internationally recognised project management training programs under direct guidance from the PMICSL, the local body of the Project Management Institute, USA.
“CICRA will initially promote Project Management Professional (PMP) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) training programs under this agreement,” its Director/CEO Boshan Dayaratne said.
“We had been offering PMP training programs but it has long been felt that the quality of the programs needs to be further improved. With this partnership, CICRA will retain PMICSL recognised industry experts in project management as resource persons for its training programs,” Dayaratne said.
“Since we cater to Sri Lankan market, it is tremendously important that local experience through real life case studies is shared with the trainees. In this setting, PMI Colombo Sri Lanka will facilitate CICRA with resource persons who will share their real life experience in project management related issues in Sri Lanka with the trainees,” Dayaratne said.
Speaking at the ceremony, PMICSL newly elect President Aruna Kooragamage said that they were delighted to partner with CICRA, which had shown formidable force as a professional training institute. “This partnership will benefit both parties and ultimately help to build and promote professionalism in project management profession in Sri Lanka.
PMI’s PMP credential is the most important industry-recognized certification for project managers. Globally recognised and demanded, the PMP demonstrates that you have the experience, education and competency to lead and direct projects. A person with a degree and three years of project management experience can sit for PMP qualification after following mandatory training hours.
CAPM is a valuable entry-level certification for project practitioners. Designed for those with little or no project experience, the CAPM demonstrates your understanding of the fundamental knowledge, terminology and processes of effective project management.
