A project coordinator supports the project manager by keeping schedules and trackers up to date, organising meetings and taking minutes, managing project documents, following up on actions and risks, and keeping stakeholders informed.

Popular entry-level options are PMI's CAPM and CompTIA Project+, which need little or no experience. Both cover the project life cycle, scheduling, risk, communication and documentation that coordinators use every day.
