Our seasoned practitioners have designed a unique online series of industry best-practice training programs that formalize and set industry standards for the skills and competencies required to progress and succeed in their professional careers. From the person who is just entering this field to the seasoned planners who are looking for a certification of their skills and competencies, we have the perfect training level for you. The First Formal Planning Training Program for Future and Existing Industry Experts Planners, schedulers, project controls analysts, and other professionals who perform planning duties in heavy industries currently lack access to formal, yet accessible, certified curricula through recognized institutions that can provide the skills and competencies required for success in the job market.

The variations in their qualifications directly impact the bottom line of their employers who may, or may not, have the qualified personnel needed to meet their business needs. AP-Learning Systems has stepped into the gap and created a four-level certified planning program to standardize the skills and competencies required to successfully perform planning duties and increase your value-contribution potential.
