The Division of Continuing Education of Georgia Southern University is offering beginning and advanced project-management courses at the Coastal Georgia Center in downtown Savannah beginning Sept. 30. 
The 12-hour beginning course and 24-hour advanced project-management course will complete the 35-hour course requirement for the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional certification application.  
The certification is recommended for professionals in any field who are responsible for managing projects. 
The curriculum of both courses provides a documented step-by-step guide for project initiation, execution and conclusion.  
Beginning project management, a two-session course on Sept. 30 and Oct. 8, covers key skills and tools for planning and completing assigned projects.  
Advanced project management, a four-session course on Oct. 21, Oct. 29, Nov. 11 and Nov. 19, advances training with the internationally accepted standard of project management from The Project Management Institute. 
The instructor for both courses is Doug Winters, a project-management professional certified by the Project Management Institute and a Six Sigma Black Belt certified by Southern Polytechnic State University. 
All classes are from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at The Coastal Georgia Center at 305 Fahm St. in Savannah.
