Project Management Course

Our project management course will give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage projects successfully.

If you are a manager or project leader who is accountable for the management of projects, we can help you to control and co-ordinate activities, and complete the project on time and within budget.

“When you're up to your eyes in alligators – it's easy to forget that your objective was to drain the swamp!”Anon.

Project management, like management theory itself, developed through an engineering background with an emphasis on efficiency through control. Though control remains important in all forms of management, it has been recognised that managers, team leaders, and supervisors achieve effective results through the co-ordination of results achieved by other people. Project planning allows you to achieve both co-ordination and control through the efficient planning, effective implementation, and successful completion of a wide range of projects.

Most people are involved with a project and often business relies on the individual's ability to manage different projects, often simultaneously. Unfortunately few people have been trained in project management techniques and many projects fail to reach a satisfactory conclusion, many are late and over budget.

An effective project leader succeeds by developing the team and applying various tools and disciplines that suit the team and the project.

This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to enable them to manage projects successfully. The training will cover both the techniques (planning, handling risk) and the personal skills (influence, communication) necessary for a successful outcome.

We believe that learning should be enjoyable and interesting. This is why we use a training activity called "Project Planning" as part of the course. This training resource enables delegates to work on a real project and measure their efficiency.
