Start Your TransformationTrusted by Leading Organizations
You Already Know How to Lead Projects
Military leaders manage complexity, risk, and execution under pressure every day. The CPM® Boot Camp translates your experience into the language civilian employers understand:
What You've Done → What Employers Call It
- Mission Planning → Project Charter & Scope Management
- Operations Orders → Work Breakdown Structure & Scheduling
- Risk Assessment → Risk Mitigation & Contingency Planning
- After-Action Reviews → Lessons Learned & Process Improvement
- Cross-Unit Coordination → Stakeholder Alignment & Communication
- Command Under Pressure → Executive Presence & Leadership
The skills are the same. The vocabulary is different.
In 5 days, you'll walk out speaking the PM language that gets you hired—and performing at a level that gets you promoted.

Why Professionals Choose CPM® Boot Camp
Real graduates share how CPM® training translated into immediate career impact
I was in a unique position when enrolling in this boot camp. As a relatively recent graduate of business school, I was young and inexperienced compared to many of my peers but offered a unique perspective as a result. Interestingly, I found the week spent in the CPM Boot Camp to be more practical and informative than any one assignment or project I worked on during my four years as an undergraduate student! The tools I left this class with could be applied to my job as soon as the next day, making it an extremely valuable and worthwhile program to invest time into.
One of my staff attended Boot Camp and was moved from a technical position to Project Manager. Using the PMLG techniques, she was able to immediately step in and lead a major project with very minimal direction and assistance. The tools have enabled her to maintain scope, communicate status and deliver her project right on schedule (which was extremely tight!!).
This is the GOLD Standard, like no other around the globe, for experiential learning. Why spend another dime on theoretical slides and boring books, that go onto a shelf, never to be opened again?
