Project Management

Short Course

Managing projects requires the coordination of not only people, resources and time, but also skills. Effective project management ensures that work is delivered on time, on budget, and to the standard required. The project manager needs to deploy a myriad of different skills including communication, time management, organisation, persuasion, logistics and leadership to make this happen.

This practical short course helps participants understand the foundations of project management and develop the skills to plan, organise, and deliver projects successfully. Through real‑world examples and hands‑on activities, participants learn how to scope work, manage risks, communicate clearly, and keep projects on track from start to finish.

This structured programme is different from many other project management courses in that it does not espouse a single methodology of project management. Instead, we return to the principles of project management and concern ourselves with the practical outcomes of project management rather than the maintenance of a branded methodology.

Understanding the purpose and lifecycle of a project
Scoping work and defining clear objectives
