Are you a project manager with a few years experience and do you need to manage multiple projects with lots of different deadlines? Would you like to get tools and processes to be a professional project manager?

Unfortunately, delays, cost overruns, or quality problems can wreck your projects. You know you are competent in project management, however, you realize that you need to apply project management disciplines in more depth and in a more controlled, monitored and evaluated context going forward. You need to become proficient in how you identify, quantify, plan for and manage project risks and requirements, and in how you monitor, control and report on the team's progress against the project charter. In fact, you need to take up the management role more formally within project teams and with stakeholders to ensure you deliver to schedule, scope, cost and quality.

Aligned with PMI's PMBOK®, this project management training programme helps you master the entire project management process. You'll earn 35 professional development units (PDUs) pre-approved by PMI, and you'll gain skills and in-depth knowledge that prepare you for the next level: the Project Management Professional certification.
