Project management certification in Connecticut

15 project management programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

5 schools offer these project management programs, and Connecticut has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

In Connecticut, 2 of the 15 programs take students without a high school diploma, 12 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.

By kind, the 15 programs here are PMP exam prep (5 programs), project management certificate or course (3 programs), Lean Six Sigma (3 programs), CAPM exam prep (entry level, 2 programs), and 2 more of 2 other kinds.

How to pay for project management certification in Connecticut

WIOA funding can pay for project management certification in Connecticut

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for project management certification

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for project management certification

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Connecticut project management program numbers come from

Which Connecticut project management programs are on this list?

These are the project management programs Connecticut approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Connecticut offers.

How the prices and results of Connecticut project management programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
