MCAA Congratulates Our 2025 Pre-IPM Graduates

August 4, 2025

Classes 30-33 of the Preparatory Institute for Project Management have just completed their 12 weeks of introductory project management training. It’s hard to believe that it has been six years since Pre-IPM began, until you consider that there are now more than 2,300 Pre-IPM graduates… time flies when you’re having fun! And on that note, here’s what our newest grads had to say about their experience:

“I had a fun time in the class. Was fun hearing from our peers at different companies and hearing their similar experiences and also learning a lot more about the day in the life of a PM.”

“Awesome class! I recommend this to anyone in the industry.”

“It was great to hear from all the different instructors and learn about their experiences. Overall, an outstanding learning experience.”

“Loved the class, learned so much over the last [12] weeks.”

“I just want to say that I really, really appreciate you for putting this together. It would be easy for y’all to go through the motions of the course. I can tell that you really care about the students & are happy to be instructing the course. Thank you so much & I will be seeing you in the future!!”
