Organizational benefits of learning planning that is designed around the way humans operate are numerous:
From a professional development perspective:
320 pages of planning, forecasting, and risk training, designed from over 250 evidence-based research studies on human cognition. The course is self-paced, including 44 videos from the researchers, Dr. Josh Ramirez and Dr. Shari De Baets. You have one year to complete the course (60 hours, or 60 PDUs for project management. PMI categories: 25 technical, 15 leadership, 20 strategic). Monthly payment options may be available for those who qualify in some U.S. states, and discounts are available for U.S. veterans and their dependents, teachers, and first responders (add to cart for details).
Dr. Josh E Ramirez, NPPQ, PMP (United States)
Dr. Shari De Baets, NPPQ (Belgium)
The training is for the master planner in project management, regardless of their role in the organization. If you plan, forecast, or evaluate risk in projects, and you want to be a master at prediction, the NPPQ credential offers you the science.

When you purchase the course you will get immediate access to the learning platform and training manual, and you can start learning at your own pace, right away! No waiting for the course to open, flying to the class location, etc.
The course is built for the practitioner and is intended to give practical solutions for planning and forecasting that are designed around the way humans process information during predictions.
The NPPQ (NeuralPlan Project Planning Qualification) certifies you have been trained in why humans make the planning decisions they do, and learning how to mitigate those issues. This means increased risk mitigation, increased plan reliability, higher forecast accuracy, and thus more projects delivered on time and on budget, thereby increasing customer trust and boosting your bottom line.
It’s no longer good enough for us in the project management field to just monitor and organize projects. We must use proven methods to change project outcomes by redesigning our processes around the human brain.
On-time completion of the milestone relies on two primary elements: accurate prediction of what will be delivered, and effective delivery of what was predicted.
The same is true of weekly or monthly forecasting. Anything that requires looking forward in a project is prediction. Because of the nature of the brain, looking forward to the future and calculating durations, resource quantities, and cost tend to be optimistic, which in turn increases risk and results in unrealistic plans and forecasts. Not only is this bad for the organization, but it also reduces customer trust in outcomes, results in inefficiencies, and has a material impact on profit margins.
NeuralPlan takes its name from designing planning processes around the way the brain operates and humans think – thus the words neural (designed around human cognition) and plan (project planning). It is not purely neuroscience, not purely behavioral science, not purely cognitive psychology, and not purely social psychology. It is a whole-brain perspective on how humans make predictions in plans and forecasts in projects.
The NeuralPlan certification course is conducted at your own pace, online, with a full training manual, a platform that uses gamification for better retention, and videos that provide instruction by the scientists who developed the course. Training consists of practical implementation of cognitive strategies to reduce risk and increase planning and forecasting accuracy. Some topics include:
