Pre-IPM 2026 Classes: Registration Opens February 17th!

February 16, 2026

Pre-IPM is back for another season! This year’s classes will begin April 29th: if you have Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, new hires, or people transitioning to the office from the field or Estimating, this online course is for them!

The Preparatory Institute for Project Management was developed by the same team that oversees MCAA’s Institute for Project Management (IPM) and Advanced Institute for Project Management (AIPM). This course provides an introductory education on everything from planning to scheduling; from cost control to professionalism.

The 12-week online curriculum is intended for those with 0-3 years of experience and is designed to help flatten the learning curve for those new to the world of mechanical project management. In a series of 90-minute weekly classes, professional instructors and current mechanical contractors will explore topics essential to project management.

Although there is no limit on how many people a company can enroll, registration is first-come, first-served—and classes tend to fill quickly. Visit the Pre-IPM webpage to learn more about the course, including what you need to do to prepare for registration. The Pre-IPM team looks forward to welcoming your participants to the program this spring!
