Why It's Free
The IFPPM is a Canadian federally registered non-profit, and our founding purpose includes “a special focus on cost-effective outreach for the non-profit sector, including associations, governments, non-governmental organizations, and other non-profit organizations.”
To support our non-profit mandate, we provide completely free access to all of the IFPPM resources to approved non-profit organizations around the world. There is no catch, trick, second-tier pricing, or other condition attached to this access. It really is all completely free.
How It Helps
Project management is how we get things done, in both profit and non-profit organizations. Project management helps you define your objective, plan realistic scope, schedule, budget, and risks, and then maximize the chance of project success.
The IFPPM can help your team become competent project managers quickly. They can download the resources, watch the courses, take the exam, and earn their DPPM certification. And then review the courses at any time to refresh their knowledge as they manage their projects in the future.

Testimonials
Christopher Irons
Over the course of a 20 year career I have purchased many training materials, video courses, study guides, etc, and this was hands down the best material I have ever used.
Dan Bischoff, PMP
I am interviewing for a PM position in two days. This course boosted my confidence and gave me valuable insight into key PMBOK areas I haven’t considered since I received my PMI certification in 2012. And I’m able to improve my resume since I now understand how PM functions I’ve been performing for years are much more valuable than I thought.
Mark Thorogood, PMP
I have been a PMP since 2006 and learned so much from this course, truly outstanding.
Susan Steigler, PMP
This is by far the best project management course I have ever taken.

Not only does this course teach you practical project management, it also teaches you life skills you will keep for a lifetime. Exceptional. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Crisp and direct, no blabbing. Wise to go with this first before consulting any other material.

I’ve been managing projects for several years, and picked up key points which will improve my work in the future, and would have made previous projects significantly better if I’d known them sooner. Highly recommended.
