BP and partners to establish School of Project Management in Azerbaijan
BAKU – BP and its co-venturers in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG), Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC), Shah Deniz (SD), and South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) will contribute $1 million to establish a new School of Project Management (SPM) in Azerbaijan, BP said.
The project is designed for the private and public sectors providing access to a globally-recognized, comprehensive project management programme. It will focus on simultaneous goals of improving immediate project management performance and establishing long term project management capability in the country.
The curriculum of the school leads to two globally-recognized certifications: the "Masters Certificate in Project Management", awarded by the George Washington University (GWU), and the "PM Professional" certificate, awarded by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
The programme will consist of eight modules.
In addition, the aim of the project is also to increase capacity of the local training institution, and therefore while initially the language of the course will be English, in 2-3 years time local professionals will be trained to deliver the programme in the Azerbaijani language.
The project will be implemented by ESI International - a leading project management training and solutions company, in collaboration with Khazar University.
