What must I study to become a Project Manager.?

Question

Must I be an engineer to become one? Or what is the career ladder like to become a Project or Contract Manager?

Answer 1

You do not have to be an engineer to become a project manager. I work with them as an estimator, and I have the same required education as they do. You must take an engineering technology program, which is usually a 3 year course. If you're talking general construction, then it would be a civil engineering technology program.  

Answer 2

You can do project managing at university and you can do a HNC or a HNC if you don't have the qualifications to go straight in for a Degree but you can work after doing a HND........ Some places also offer at home study courses to do project management so if you look online you should find one......... Good luck :-) x

Answer 4

It depends what project u want to manage!!

Answer 5

You'll find project managers in every field of work. You should probably have some basic training in whatever field it is that you want to work in--engineering, city planning, wedding coordination, whatever--so that you'll understand what's going on. Then you can take certification classes for project management. The principles are the same no matter what field.
