Build Better Project Managers with EMI’s Tailored PM Skills Training + AEC PM Certification

At the Engineering Management Institute (EMI), we know that engineering professionals can develop exceptional project management (PM) skills. However, traditional PM bootcamps often overwhelm engineers with generic concepts and fail to support real-world implementation.

That’s why we created the Project Management Accelerator™ – PM Skills Course.
Drawing from our founder’s engineering experience, we designed this program specifically to help engineering project managers seamlessly transfer PM skills back to the job—without sacrificing billable hours.
