Recommend Background

This course is suitable for anyone starting out in project management, irrespective of industry sector or organizational context, as well as practitioners who are moving on to manage projects of increasing complexity. 

What you will learn

Project management is a process and a set of generic skills and techniques, now practiced in many different sectors and organizations. Therefore you’ll learn how to use the process and apply these in a pragmatic way, tailored to your own context, using a mix of theory, examples from case studies (of both successful and not so successful projects) as well as the real-life practical experience of the course facilitator.

Course format

• Practice-based learning and critical engagement is a key theme through all our courses allowing delegates to apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills immediately in their own working environments.
• A comprehensive set of materials will be provided on the day including all presentation materials used by the course facilitator.

*** A course with 10 participants is very good to favour the interactivity. Thanks for the perfect course content and lecture.

*** Very good course, teacher, and approach. Material available on-line prior the course + request to the participants about their expectations from the course.

*** I strongly recommended this training to my colleagues as I found it very useful.

*** I think this was one of the best course I've ever attended. The trainer, Mrs Maureen, was extremely pedagogic and the structure of the course was very well planned with just the right mixture of theory versus practical examples and exercises.

*** It was a very enjoyable course. The group was small which made it easier to be 100% involved.  The exercises and case study were absolutely great and necessary to put the theory in practice. A very knowledgeable teacher.
