PPCC will market its service as a training and information center of PM.

Current situation

The concepts associated with project management have been used almost since the beginning of time. But the field of project management became a recognized occupational profession in 1984 when the Project Management Institute (PMI) began certifying Project Management Professionals (PMPs). Project Management has getting more and more attention over past few years. In 2004, according to the report of Project Management Institute (PMI), there are 70,000 PMP in the world but 60% sits in United State. Only 101 people in Taiwan got the PMP certification. Over past few years, thanks to the contribution and attention of government and industries, people have become more and more valued and understood Project Management. A lot of organizations request their managers to absorb the Project Management knowledge or even require the professional certification (PMP). Some small-mid companies donÐŽ¦t have project management department, they lack the professionals to run a project or encounter some problems during a project. The project management solution companies and project management lessons become prevalent over the years in Taiwan.

Taiwan now is the place that has rapid and enormous requirement for PM, or PMP certification. However, there are very few private training institutions to help public or companies to understand and acquire relevant information about PM, or PMP certification in Taiwan.
