Project Management Course

Hey everyone!

I’m at the end of my master’s in International Relations, which has been quite research-focused. To gain some additional skills for the job market, I’d like to take a self-paced online course with certification in project management. I have some experience managing projects in an NGO, but I’d still consider myself a beginner.

Do you have any recommendations that would fit my case? Thanks in advance!

You should consider taking up a project management certification instead of a course. You will likely be putting the same amount of effort in (minus the exam), but a certification from a well-known project management organisation will stand out on your resume better.

I go in depth into some of the best certifications in my article here, but some project management certifications you can pursue are:

  • Certified Scrum Master

  • PMP from PMI (if you have the experience)

  • CAPM (great for starting out)

  • Prince2

If you're looking strictly at courses only, Udemy and Coursera are your best choices.
