I graduated last year and had been sending out resumes for months with no success. I joined PMAISM's Project Coordinator course not really knowing what a PM did. Six weeks later I had a Jira-built portfolio, a completely rewritten resume and my first Project Coordinator job offer at an IT services firm in Hyderabad. The tools module alone made the difference — I went into interviews actually showing a Jira board I had set up myself.

Who This Course Is For
Designed for People Starting From Zero
This is PMAISM's most beginner-friendly program. If you have never worked in a PM role before, this is where you start.
Freshers & Recent Graduates
Just finished your degree and unsure where to start? The Project Coordinator role is one of the best entry points into a professional career in IT and business. We help you land your first role even with no work experience by teaching you how to present your education, academic projects and soft skills as coordinator-relevant evidence.
Non-IT Graduates
Studied commerce, arts, science or any non-CS engineering stream? Project coordination is a role that values communication, organisation and attention to detail far more than technical skills. Many of our most successful placement stories come from non-IT graduates who are now thriving as coordinators at IT companies.
Career Changers
Moving from a completely different field — teaching, retail, hospitality or banking? Your existing skills in communication, scheduling, customer management and team coordination are directly transferable. We help you connect the dots and build the PM-specific knowledge that bridges the gap.
Those With 0 PM Experience
If this is your first exposure to project management, this course is built exactly for you. There are no prerequisites, no assumed knowledge and no prior tools experience required. We teach you everything from first principles and have you confident enough to pass interviews in 6 weeks.
Student Success Stories
From Zero Experience to First PM Role
These are real students who joined the Project Coordinator course with no background in project management and landed their first role within weeks of completing the program.
I completed my engineering degree but didn't have a CS background and felt locked out of IT roles. PMAISM showed me that project coordination doesn't require coding skills — it requires organisation, communication and the ability to keep teams aligned. The course gave me all three in a very practical way. I joined a product company as an IT Project Coordinator two months after completing the course.
I had a commerce degree and four years of experience in administration that felt completely irrelevant to a tech career. PMAISM helped me see that coordinating vendors, managing calendars, tracking deliverables and preparing reports — that is exactly what a Project Associate does. The interview preparation module was transformative. I now work as a Project Associate at a consulting firm and am already being considered for a PM role.

No prior experience is needed at all. This course is the most beginner-friendly program we offer and is specifically built for people who are completely new to project management. We start from the absolute basics — what is a project, what does a coordinator actually do — and build practical, job-ready skills from there. If you have never opened Jira before or don't know what a Gantt chart is, you are in exactly the right place to start.
-
Graduates of this course are typically placed in roles including Project Coordinator, IT Project Coordinator, Project Associate, Delivery Coordinator, PMO Analyst, Project Administrator and Junior Project Manager. The role you land depends on your background and the companies you target — but all of the above are well within reach for someone who has completed this course. After 1–2 years in any of these roles, you have the experience to pursue a full Project Manager title, often with our support.
-
Yes, emphatically. Project coordination is a role built around communication, organisation and team coordination — skills that are far more important than technical knowledge. Non-IT graduates from commerce, arts, science, mechanical and electrical engineering, and management backgrounds regularly enroll and are placed in coordinator roles at IT companies. We specifically teach the PM tools and industry vocabulary you need to bridge the gap. Some of our best placement stories come from non-IT graduates.
-
A Project Coordinator supports the Project Manager in keeping a project on track. On a typical day, a coordinator might update the project schedule in Jira or MS Project, send a status report to stakeholders, follow up with team members on overdue tasks, prepare meeting minutes after a standup, and update the RAID log with new risks or issues. The role is organisational, communicative and fast-paced. It is an excellent entry point because you get exposure to the full project lifecycle from day one, which accelerates your learning significantly compared to other entry-level roles.
-
Yes. Full placement assistance is included in the course fee. We rewrite your resume for coordinator roles, optimise your LinkedIn profile, coach you through interview preparation, refer you to our network of hiring partners in IT, consulting, banking and infrastructure sectors, and stay engaged through the entire hiring process until you receive and accept an offer. We don't consider our job done when the course ends — we consider it done when you are placed.
