Your course

Project Management is essential for a company where time, scope, budget and quality are of extreme importance. It’s a growing profession and can lead you onto a successful and fulfilling career with great prospects. Our course has been designed with this in mind and you’ll learn about the foundations of project management, the business environment and develop your skills in project management techniques to enable you to manage the people, time and financial resources that are required to deliver successful projects. During the course, you’ll learn to critically analyse business environments, including the economic, environmental, political and sociological factors. You’ll also consider these factors alongside their effects at local, national and global levels on the strategy, behaviour and management of your organisation.
