Irrespective of an individual’s profession, or even in a personal capacity, they will have to manage projects at some point. This programme arms professionals with cutting-edge project management knowledge and enhanced project management skills: The ones needed (1) to excel in their role, either as a new or more experienced project manager, (2) to take their projects and their career to the next level, and (3) to make themselves indispensable in a world that will always require excellent project managers.
The programme is based on the PMBOK process groups and the PRINCE2® principles. Participants will learn to apply international standard Project Management philosophies, principles, and techniques that will enable them to plan, analyse, measure progress, control, and report on any project – irrespective of the scope or industry. It equips participants with the skills necessary to assess and determine situations that warrant a project approach in order to achieve strategic objectives.
The objective of the programme is to acquaint participants with the practical and theoretical principles and techniques with which a specific team produces an identified, once-off project, within specified time, cost, and performance targets. Our approach is not to present or promote a specific methodology for project
management, but rather the philosophy, principles and techniques involved in the management of projects.
New or more experienced project managers who need to plan, analyse, measure progress, control, and report on any project – irrespective of the scope or industry.
