What Is PM for Beginners (CompTIA Project+)?
PM for Beginners is a 50-hour online course designed for individuals with little to no project management experience who want to build a solid foundation and prepare for the CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) certification exam.
CompTIA Project+ is a vendor-neutral, entry-level project management certification that validates your ability to manage the project lifecycle, coordinate small- to medium-sized projects, and support larger initiatives within an IT environment.
The curriculum covers 14 lessons spanning the complete project lifecycle — from business case development and framework selection through initiation, planning, execution, performance management, and project closing.
This course includes access to official CompTIA course content, hands-on live lab cloud content, and official CompTIA practice certification exams. Upon completion, you'll be fully prepared to take and pass the CompTIA Project+ PK0-005 certification exam.
Entry-level project managers and coordinators work across IT departments, corporate offices, technology firms, and consulting agencies. In a junior PM role, you'll coordinate tasks, maintain documentation, manage schedules, communicate with stakeholders, and support senior project managers in delivering outcomes on time and within budget.
