Public Performance Measurement Online Certificate Program
Registration is now open for the next course - PPM 300. This is the 3rd of four modules - PPM 300 Managing for Improved Performance.
Registration for this course ends on June 20 so be sure to register soon.

Please note: While we encourage students to take the modules in order of their numbering (start with 100 end with 400), it is not required. If you aim to take the entire four-module certificate, but for some reason you missed the deadline for PPM 100, you may begin by enrolling in PPM 2000, take the remaining modules in order, and end with PPM 100.
