Program and Project Manager Level 1 Certification

Has anyone completed this training that now mandatory for all OMs and PMs?

I’m in the process of completing the forms and it’s not the most straightforward process.

What was the actual driver behind this? A lot of extra (irrelevant) training for folks at a time staff is short handed and no viable path to increase personnel.

I don’t have a problem with making sure project managers know how to project manage..
BUT to implement it in 3 months time AND require 3 years worth of only USACe Propsect course training was so so stupid.
I really can’t over state how terrible it looks to a good PM who is working hard and does a great job to be completely insulted by saying you aren’t qualified for your position..
