The PSP® certification is designed for managers and consultants who want an internationally recognised advanced–level credential in planning & scheduling field. PSP® (Planning and Scheduling Professional) is a certification granted by the Association for Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE)® to individuals who possess fundamental knowledge and expertise in planning and scheduling. This course is suitable for those wishing to complete their training in a short space of time, in preparation for the exam shortly after and will provide participants with a thorough background in the concepts of Planning and Scheduling Engineering and Construction projects. The course addresses how to identify, monitor, and balance information crucial for the successful management of projects. It will discuss the development of a baseline performance management plan (PMP) for the project that will allow the efficient compilation and the timely generation of quantitative performance comparisons. The comparisons highlight significant performance departures (“actual vs. baseline”) and allow for preventive and early remedial and corrective actions.
