Project Management Course

Project management is an intrinsic part of working life.

Although they may not always recognise it, many people lead and manage projects on a daily basis whether it be running an event, hiring a new member of staff, or producing a new flyer. 

Many in this position have not had any training to develop the skills required to manage projects effectively. 

For most of these people, a formal certification course requires a considerable time commitment, and is not necessary for the job role. 

This course aims to bridge the gap by delivering the key elements of formal certification courses, but in a shorter format and with an increased emphasis on practical tips to implement the theories. 

This 1 day Project Management Fundamentals course is led by a certified PMP Project Management consultant, with years of experience managing projects of all sizes in various industries.

Using the tools and techniques you acquire throughout the day you will

• Become familiar with Project Management terminology, and the responsibilities of a Project Manager
• Develop an appreciation of how to set the project strategy, including when to make significant investments in the project
• Understand the need for active decisions on time, cost, quality and scope.
• Understand project management principles of work breakdown structure, scheduling, forecasting and critical path
• Gain confidence to use standard Project Management software to create a Gantt chart
• Develop a risk management plan, and understand principles of how to use this to reduce project risks
• Learn tools to track project progress
• Learn the importance of managing stakeholders, and explore alternative communication approaches
• Managing change projects- how to achieve transformational change
