The same leadership skills that make FPM 134 one of our most popular courses — now applied to bigger teams, higher stakes, and tougher rooms. At the mid-level, you're not just leading a project — you're navigating stakeholders, organizational politics, and competing priorities while keeping a team performing. FPM 234 builds on the same five pillars — critical thinking and decision making, negotiation, leadership, communication, and conflict resolution — but at the depth a more complex program demands. You'll sharpen the judgment to make harder decisions and defend them; negotiate through competing interests and real political pressure; lead and develop others through feedback and mentorship; communicate to align a program with agency goals; and resolve the deeper interpersonal and organizational conflicts that come with mid-level work. You'll also learn to read and leverage the internal and external political environment around your project, and to gauge how stakeholder relationships shape whether a program succeeds. Exercises put every skill to work, because applied leadership is learned by doing, not watching. You won't just study leadership — you'll practice leading when the stakes are real and the answers aren't clean.
A note on certification paths: This course is one of the four FPM 231–234 courses that together meet FAC-P/PM Mid-Level training. Mid-level certification also calls for relevant project/program management experience. Because requirements vary by agency, check with your Acquisition Career Manager (ACM) to confirm what your agency requires before you build your certification plan.
Whether you take it for certification or not — this is a great way to earn CLPs while building genuinely valuable, immediately usable project management skills. Solid knowledge, real CLP credit, and practical tools and information to make you better at your job.
Format: 2 days / 16 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
