Project Management:
What Students Are Saying
"SF State Extended Learning's Project Management course is intense and provides a good foundation for taking the PMP certification exam. The PMP exam preparation class, in particular, forces you to get ready for the PMP exam. I would advise students to take the PMP exam soon after taking the "PMP exam preparation" class."
- Clynton D.
"I chose to use the same "dummy project" for all of my classes that required - or assisted in the learning of - the classes that it was applicable for. This project has since grown into a business plan that became viable and is currently moving from the development stage into being a functioning and productive business entity."
- Project Management Student
"The SF State program taught me the formal PMI methodology. While going through the program, I was able to apply to my on-the-job training to the PMI terminology and process. The Executive Manager who hired me at my current employer was impressed that I went to the effort of learning Project Management the formal 'way'. That's part of the reason he extended the job offer to me."

"I was in your project management class in spring 2007. In class I worked with the 'T-Team' on 'creation of a tea store in Germany'. The project is finally done and we opened the T-store in Heilbronn/Germany in March 2008. The modern concept is a big success and especially younger customers (our main target group) show big interest! I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me (especially the WBS was the most helpful thing!); I had a great time in class and learned a lot of helpful things!"
- Claudia S.
"Good news to report: I passed the PMP exam yesterday. Rita has a pretty good bead on what the questions are like, so there weren't any surprises. However, it's really difficult to gauge how well you're doing as you take the exam, since it's so long. Thanks for the good class; it was much better than the PM course I was taking simultaneously at another institution. It was tremendously satisfying to reissue all my résumés with new awesomeness attached!"
- Alex S.
