MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 18, 2005 – Watermark Learning, a leading provider of business analysis, project management and business requirements analysis training, in association with Auburn University, today announced their joint offering of Business Analysis and Project Management Masters Certificate Programs to business professionals.

Individuals who desire to enhance their management and business analysis skills will receive Continuing Education Credits (CEU’s) from Auburn University, one of the leading Business and Engineering schools in the country.

“There is a growing need by companies to go beyond offering intermittent skill training to their employees,” said Richard Larson, PMP and Principal of Watermark Learning. “They are looking to have their employees participate in a structured certification program that offers them the opportunity to not only gain the best practices for their business but know their employees are fully trained and competent in their field of expertise.”

“Auburn University continues to build its highly acclaimed certification programs around the needs of business professionals. Watermark Learning adds to that high standard by offering their effective hands-on training classes that continue to get some of the highest accolades in business analysis and project management skill development,” said Dr. George Blanks, Director Business and Engineering Continuing Education Auburn University. “Auburn University is proud of its association with Watermark Learning and we anticipate a long and prosperous relationship.”

The Masters Certificate program, from Watermark Learning and Auburn University, is of benefit to businesses and also of value to employees as it offers continuing education credits (CEU’s), and Professional Development Units (PDU’s) from the Project Management Institute. Business students, who are awarded PDU’s as part of completing a Masters Certificate program, can also leverage their PDU’s to maintain PMI® PMP® certification.
