Professional Project Management is designed to establish a detailed understanding of Project Management terms, concepts and methodologies. The hands-on approach of this course ensures trainees “learn by doing” and gain a step-by-step, real-time experience of using the tools and implementing the methodologies and support structures. In simulating real-life environments, trainees gather the detailed knowledge required to apply the training on return to their work environment. The course uses PMBOK Guide Version 5 as its reference and so helps prepare people for PMI certification.

This course is ideal for:

• Experienced project managers who had to learn ‘on the job’ and may not be aware of the different proven tools and techniques that exist and that can make their lives easier.
• New or prospective project managers, who are looking for guidance on the “right” way to manage their projects.
• People who intend to get certified as a PM, and who need to complete the required training so that they can meet the certification requirements.
• Functional Managers, who may have to manage some projects “part-time” in addition to their real jobs. Many of the PM tools and methods can also apply to line management and deliver real value.
