Course details
This course is a comprehensive and practical introduction to Project Management. The content and delivery is applicable to all industrial sectors (not just technical projects).

The PMBOK is a worldwide recognised professional standard for the practice of Project Management.
The course is aimed at those involved in a wide range of projects. Participants come from a broad range of sectors and backgrounds and are typically involved in the planning, control and execution of project work in the broadest sense.
Lectures are combined with case studies, workshops, simulations and practical projects. Course delegates complete various assignments in the class, as project teams and individual assignments. There are also hands-on computer practical sessions will be used to instruct participants in the key areas of project planning and control. Candidates should have basic computer skills.
The course focuses on two main areas, primarily learning new tools and techniques to manage projects more effectively.
