To get a PMP certification, you need to meet PMI's experience and educational requirements, and pass an exam geared to project management knowledge. This program prepares you thoroughly for the exam.

Chamber fundraising to support new economic development body
On June 23, the Truro & Colchester Chamber of Commerce hosted a rally in support of economic development introducing the board of directors of the new Truro-Colchester Regional Enterprise Network.
The Chamber is actively campaigning to raise $60,000 from the local business community as a key stakeholder of this new pilot project focused on business growth, attraction and retention. It is anticipated the province will match funds raised in this community.
Many businesses have pledged to support economic growth in the region. Please join them by calling the chamber office at 902-895-6328 or emailing [email protected] for more details.
The campaign will continue until the end of July.
Supporting businesses will be recognized at Chamber events during the three-year pilot project, as well as on the Truro & Colchester Chamber of Commerce website and other social media.
