Tampa, Fla., August 16, 2010—BICSI, the association supporting the information technology systems (ITS) industry with information, education and knowledge assessment, is excited to announce that BICSI has signed the letter of intent to purchase the Telecommunications Project Manager (TPM) training intellectual property from Don Nelson Consulting.
This includes the PM125: Telecommunications Project Management Program class, as well as several others. Based on the courses, BICSI will create a new Registered Telecommunications Project Manager (RTPM) specialist credential, slated for launch in 2011. The future purchase is in line with the BICSI Board Strategic Plan to advance the knowledge and success of BICSI members, their customers and the ITS industry. Project management is an essential part of the professional development necessary for any ITS professional.
“This is a great strategic move for BICSI and our members,” commented Brian Hansen, RCDD, NTS, CSI, BICSI President. “The RTPM will be a very nice addition to the BICSI suite of credentials and one that fulfills the needs of those Project Managers working in the ITS infrastructure.”
The program covers the entire cycle of a project, from bid to completion. It will provide the student with a basic understanding of project management concepts and tools, and will focus on construction projects as they relate to ITS design and installation projects. Primary project types discussed include telecommunications, information technology, outside plant and wireless design.
