Project Management – FernUniversität Course App

What is the Project Management app?

This Android application is the official learning companion for the Project Management certificate course offered by the Center for Continuing Education (CeW) at FernUniversität in Hagen. It provides access to course materials, interactive exercises, and resources that support students in mastering core project‑management concepts.

Main features

• Preview chapter – The first chapter of the course is available free of charge, allowing prospective learners to explore the teaching style and content before enrolling.
• Structured learning modules – The app organizes the curriculum into clearly defined sections that follow the typical project‑management lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closing.
• Practical tools – Includes downloadable templates such as checklists, forms, and simple project‑planning worksheets that can be used directly on the device.
• Progress tracking – Learners can see which modules they have completed and what remains, helping them stay on schedule.
• Exam preparation – Provides sample questions and guidance for the final written exam, which can be taken online or at a FernUniversität campus.

How it works

After installing the app, users can open the free preview chapter immediately. To unlock the full course, a booking through CeW is required; the app then synchronises the purchased content to the device. All materials are stored locally, so learners can study offline. Interactive elements guide users through planning exercises, where they can apply methods such as Gantt charts or risk registers directly within the app.

Practical uses

• Supplement classroom or distance‑learning sessions with on‑the‑go reference material.
• Use the built‑in templates to draft project plans, status reports, or stakeholder analyses.
• Prepare for the certification exam by reviewing key concepts and testing knowledge with practice questions.

Installation information

The app is distributed as a free download from the official Android marketplace. Installation follows the standard process: tap “Install,” grant any required permissions, and launch the app. No additional software is needed.

Things to know before installing

• A valid enrollment through the Center for Continuing Education is required to access the full course content.
• The app does not contain advertising or third‑party trackers.
• All learning materials are provided by FernUniversität in Hagen; the app serves only as a delivery platform.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone who is involved in project‑oriented work—whether in a corporate, nonprofit, or academic setting—and wishes to strengthen foundational project‑management skills. The course also benefits students seeking university‑level certification or ECTS credits.
