Planning Training and Certification

There is only one internationally recognized certification for Planners and Schedulers. It is called the Planning and Scheduling Professional (PSP) and is offered by the AACEi. You can find out more at http://www.aacei.org/certification/GuideToPSPCertification.pdf. I highly recommend it. Good luck!

You might also want to take a look at what The Planning Engineers Organisation can provide by way of formal recognition and representation for planners/schedulers.

Have any body done a NVQ. As far as I am aware it is pritty big in the UK. If yes what was your opinion of the NVQ system.

Have not done it but it has been waved under my nose a several interviews over the past few years.

NVQ, National Vocational Qualification. Comes in severla levels

Level 1 = numpty (Car Mechanic)
Level 5 = bright spark (Equivilent to an A Level)

From a family memeber who is an NVQ assesor, its a combination of developed learning and on the job application. So you do course work, are graded. Apply it to a real situation and that is then assesed.

The NVQ they ran was not in planning as such, but Project Control overall. Last person I knew who did it was an estimator from Kvaerner. Now he’s a top flight planner, so must have helped him some !

Is there a training center/school in the Philippines that offers courses on Primavera Project Planner (P3)?

Thanks!

Hi Ronald and Gary,

How about for others outside US and UK. I believe PMI has a worldwide membership and the annual fee is much lower than PEO. Also, PMI has College of Scheduling whitin the organisation.

As for AACEi, the concerntration is more to US members. Does the certification is recognised outside the US? If yes, waht is the procedure to be certified and get the recognition.
