Foundations of Project Management

Foundations of Project Management is a 3-day program where you will learn how to plan, execute, monitor, control and close all types of projects – on time and on budget. It is applicable to projects across all sectors.

The course provides a solid grounding in project management processes while recognizing the often-neglected human side of project management. This is an ideal overview for anyone who is looking for a practical approach to managing projects. Participants love the step-by-step approach, and the numerous techniques and templates that are included.

This Virtual Classroom project management course features both live, instructor-led virtual components, as well as pre-recorded videos that will be viewed by participants at strategic points before and during the sessions. Limited homework will be required for pre-recorded video viewing and work required on participants’ own projects. This course structuring allows the facilitator to concentrate on more challenging concepts, as well as discussions, polls, breakout groups and the application of key learning concepts.
