More accolade for Kelowna’s Okanagan College, as the institution has received international recognition for its project management programs.
Okanagan College has earned the designation of Registered Education Provider (R.E.P) from the Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s largest project management member association.
Okanagan College’s project management programming is offered through its Continuing Studies division. Earning the designation means the College has met criteria for course content, instructor qualification, and instructional design.
R.E.Ps are organizations that have been approved by PMI to help project managers achieve and maintain the Project Management Professional and other PMI professional credentials.
“The shift to project-based work we are seeing in many industries, including finance, technology, construction and health, has helped to make project management an increasingly important field of work, and we have seen strong training demand in our region,” said Dennis Silvestrone, Director of Continuing Studies and Corporate Development at Okanagan College. “Our program receiving this designation means our students are assured their education meets the highest professional standards and can be used to earn professional development units.”
Through this designation, Okanagan College joins more than 1,500 R.E.Ps in more than 80 countries.
