Course Outline

After 15 years of successful delivery and with more than 12,000 successful participants, we have recently launched an all new and improved verison of this course.

This is our most popular course designed to give new project managers and project team members the essential tools they need to deliver successful projects. We cover the complete project lifecycle, from initiating, through project planning and execution, and to project close-out.

As well as a great learning experience for an individual, it is also suited for “jump-starting” an entire project team about to embark on a project. Like our other courses, it can be “customized” to your organization’s environment.
