Project MANAGEMENT COURSES AND CERTIFICATION

All 2 days courses

1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT ESSENTIALS

As a project manager you need to handle many things at once; people, stakeholders, resources, budget, assistants, and technical issues. In addition, knowing how other teams are doing is essential so you don’t fall behind. It is a juggling activity and as such requires a well-practised skill. Fortunately, many principles can be used for a successful head start. This practical course will help you to learn the skills of a successful project manager quickly and efficiently.

Many companies are realizing that traditional project management principles are no longer applicable in today’s extremely dynamic and demanding environment. A fixed approach to planning is no longer a good method since it is very difficult to anticipate everything in advance and respond to it in the plan. Instead, more agile planning methods are required to accommodate changing markets, technology and resources throughout a typical project. 

As a result, new project managers must be systematically thought best practices and established management techniques. In this course, you will understand the role of the project manager as a broker of information. The emphasis here is on the day-to-day running of a project as opposed to leading a team using emotional skills.

AAPM Certified Project Risk Manager CPRM (4days + exam)

COURSE OVERVIEW

Private and public-sector projects are uncertain. Not everything that we want to happen always happens. If we don’t integrate risk management into our project and business management systems and processes, then projects are fragile and often hit with unexpected ‘surprises’ or ’bad luck with nowhere to go but late and over budget. Effective project risk and opportunity management enables a proactive approach where you can radically improve the chances of a successful project outcome by:

  • Identifying and assessing risks upfront to ensure the project is within your ‘risk tolerance’.
  • Proactively working to minimize risks and maximize opportunities – with a view to cost-benefit
  • Deal with risks effectively should they happen
