TAMPA, Fla., June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Villanova University has launched two updated Contract Management professional certificate programs, now including Agile methodology, for both Commercial Contract Management and Government Contract Management. Agile has quickly become such an essential practice in today's business world that even contract management professionals have taken notice of its effectiveness.

Villanova's two Master Certificate programs each contain three courses and feature certified instructors, along with a new online experience and course content that are aligned with the latest National Contract Management Association's (NCMA®) Body of Knowledge.

These programs are ideal for contract administrators, contract and project managers, sales and business development managers, and others who are tasked with contracting projects in the public or private sectors. Earning a Master Certificate in Agile Contract Management demonstrates a commitment to continuing education and an understanding of the contract management field, while preparing professionals for industry-leading NCMA® certifications such as the Certified Commercial Contracts Manager (CCCM™), Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM™) and the Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM™).

The topics covered in the Master Certificate in Commercial Agile Contract Management course will address the uniform commercial code, formation, enforcement, performance and more, while the Master Certificate in Government Agile Contract Management will cover many topics including federal acquisition regulation, contract financing and pre- and post-awards.

Students will have the advantage of learning from experienced faculty who are experts in the contract management field. Students will be able to view professor-led streaming video lectures on demand or download audio and video lectures for learning at a later, more convenient time.

Villanova's expert instructors on Agile methodology include John Stenbeck, PMI-ACP, who adds, "Agile is being embraced because it can provide specific strategies and recommendations to help contract managers become more efficient."  These Master Certificate programs also include other experienced industry professionals such as NCMA® board of advisor member, Margaret Rumbaugh, CPCM™.

Through these certificate courses, students will gain the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to position themselves for success in the contract management or government contract management sectors.
