Project management certification in Virginia

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

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

Project management specialists coordinate a project's budget, schedule and other details. Most have a bachelor's degree, some jobs ask for work experience, and professional certification, though not always required, shows employers what you can do.¹

In Virginia, 13 of the 40 programs take students without a high school diploma, 14 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 12 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.

By kind, the 40 programs here are PMP exam prep (16 programs), project management certificate or course (12 programs), Agile and Scrum (5 programs), CAPM exam prep (entry level, 5 programs), and 2 more of one other kind.

Where the Virginia project management program numbers come from

Which Virginia project management programs are on this list?

These are the project management programs Virginia 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 Virginia offers.

How the prices and results of Virginia 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.
