The program is intended for project teams, and therefore, registration should be done as teams, not individually. The PM4R Certification Training Course was designed and organized by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) as part of the Project Management for Results (PM4R) initiative, aimed at enhancing project management competencies of teams composed of members from executing agencies and liaison bodies.

It is expected that this training will strengthen your project planning and management skills and those of your team. The goal is for the programs under your responsibility to be executed with a focus on results and considering the risks identified through the application of proven project management practices and tools.

The course consists of a 7-week virtual phase integrated with 5 learning modules. These, in turn, are structured into units, with their contents reinforced through a series of individual and group activities that you will complete with the guidance of a tutor. Once this virtual phase is completed, each team should prepare a final project on practical topics covered during the course. The virtual component can be supplemented with two in-person workshops, one at the beginning and one at the end, if your team decides to do so with the tutor.

Upon completing the course, participants should be able to: Identify the Seven (7) Steps of the PM4R Methodology. Explain the different processes for the development of the Seven (7) Steps of the PM4R methodology. Apply the Seven (7) Steps of the PM4R Methodology in the management of their development projects. Demonstrate a personal commitment to achieving team objectives.
