PC and Mortar BoardProject Management Training

Projects are a regular feature of business activities these days. Often as in "The Apprentice" on TV, individuals are told that they are the Project Manager for an activity, for which they have been given no formal training.

The success or failure of what might be a business-critical project rests on the ability of the Project Manager to correctly deliver the desired business result on budget, in time and to a satisfactory quality.

For individuals, as with The Apprentice, possessing good project management skills can dramatically enhance your career prospects.

Fortunately help is at hand and we can either provide expert Instructor-Led Training or Self-Study Training Courses as follows:

Specialised instructor-led training and coaching services

Available as one-to-one training for individuals or small groups, we can arrange to provide the training on your premises at times and dates to fit in with your staffing and work schedules. As part of our service we provide comprehensive course notes and handouts.

Currently we are able to provide Project Management training for the following subjects:

  • Project Management Fundamentals
    One-to-one and group training in the basics of project management including terminology & definitions, cost, time & scope constraints, the stages and activities involved in a project, project control systems, controlling change and making sure the project delivers what is required by the business.

     
  • Microsoft Project
    We specialise in one-to-one and group training in the use of Microsoft Project covering basic, intermediate or advanced topics
    .
     
  • We can also provide on-going advice and guidance to staff managing projects.

Our staff have extensive experience of managing all types of projects in a wide range of different business environments.

LearnKey self-study courses

Self-study courses are available for most versions of Microsoft Project including Project 2003 and Project 2007 which are featured in our online catalogue and are listed below.

Self-study courses enable individuals to learn at their own pace, at times and locations that are the most convenient to both individuals and employers. This can be a real benefit for small businesses that cannot afford to have their staff out of the office attending external training courses.

These courses are highly regarded and include good quality video presentations from leading professional instructors together with interactive elements to aid with the learning process.

Courses can be purchased online as Single-User Licences, or for Multiple Users we can supply either Library Licences, or WorkGroup Licences. For more information about multi-user licences see our February 2008 Training Newsletter.

PC and Mortar BoardCertification Focus
   - Project Management

The Project Management Institute offers professional qualifications recognised world wide for project or programme managers and team members. The PMI is the world’s leading association for the project management profession. It administers a globally recognised, rigorous professional credentialing program certified to the ISO 9001 Quality standard. The PMI professional credentials are widely recognised and accepted throughout the world as evidence of a proven level of experience, knowledge and education in project management.

There are three levels of certification:

PMI Certifications:

Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®)

is designed for project team members, entry-level project managers and students who want a credential to recognise their value to project team performance.

Project Management Professional (PMP®)

is for those who have been leading projects for some years.

Program Management Professional (PgMPSM)

is for those who have been leading projects and programmes for some years.

You also need to meet certain educational requirements, project or programme management experience, and to agree to adhere to a code of professional conduct. The examinations are rigorous computer-based multiple-choice tests designed to objectively assess and measure your ability to apply project or programme management knowledge. The examinations are available at 10 sites in the UK.

Full details are available at the Institute's website.

We can provide a range of courses to help individuals prepare for the certification exams as listed below.
