Is the SEMP Project Management Programme right for me?
Some project managers train specifically for a professional role in project management right from the start, whilst others progress through their organization in different roles and at some point, identify project management as a role they would like to take on. Sometimes it is a role that you fall into by accident or one that is thrust upon you, so practical experience is often gained before becoming certified.
If you are contemplating a career change then there are several things you should consider. Firstly, you must consider if you think you have the right sort of personality to become a project manager, for instance:
- Are you comfortable taking the lead role in a high-pressure situation?
- Have you got the ability to manage resources on a large scale effectively?
- Can you think on your feet and quickly react to change?
- Do you have good problem-solving skills?
- Do you have experience with finance to manage large budgets?
- Can you be honest and say ‘No’ to staff and management when required?
- Can you be decisive when required and accept responsibility for your decisions?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, then a career in project management is definitely worth considering. You can learn the remaining aspects through good additional training as long as you’re proficient in most of the above.
