The LIPA Director General said they’re particularly excited about becoming PMI’s Authorized Training Partner, on grounds that Liberia license will expand services to other professional institutions across the world.
According to him, the training has as its targets “Engineers looking to become PMI Construction Professionals (PMI-CP); Professionals from various sectors looking to become Certified Project Management Professionals (PMP); a vast population of talented undergraduates looking to explore a career in project management will be able to acquire internationally recognized certification as Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM).”
He emphasized that in the coming months, LIPA will mobilize experienced Liberian PMPs and other professionals to be trained in order to serve as trainers.
Varpilah said LIPA will officially launch the PMI certification pre-courses and testing at their state-of-the-art facility in Doemah Town, Margibi County.
