Certification Overview
The IT Management and Leadership Executive (ITMLE TM) Certification class is ideal for seasoned IT Managers and IT Directors (Managers of Managers) wanting to enhance their current job performance, position them for promotion, accelerate their upward mobility, and get a seat at the business strategy/decision-making table.
