CEPE offers digital credentials upon completion of any of our certificate programs. This is in addition to the printed or electronic program certificate of completion issued by the Center.

A digital credential (also known as a digital badge) is an indicator of professional accomplishment that can be displayed and accessed online. The digital credential can be shared in an email signature, a digital resume, on social media sites, or within your own personal network. More information can be found here.

Is the Project Management Certificate the same as the PMP® certification?
No, our certificate is from Portland State University. The PMP® certification is offered by PMI and is an internationally recognized certification for those who have work experience as a project manager, have completed training hour requirements (our classes count), and have passed the rigorous PMP® exam. However, we do offer a PMP Exam Prep Boot Camp course to get students ready for the exam.
