In a time of limited resources and budgets we cannot afford to waste those resources by getting things wrong.

This course is designed for people new to Project Management who are involved or are going to be getting involved with planned work delivery or for people who need a quick refresher on the basic principles of project management.

Do you wake up at 3am with things to be done popping into your head?

Do you deliver your work but only by staying late every night and having breakfast at your desk?

Do you run into problems with your work which could have been avoided or foreseen if you had found time to plan?

Do you deliver your work, only to find that something different was required?

Do you always feel like you could have delivered more or better, if only...

If any of these questions ring true then this is the course for you.

It will inspire you to apply project management principles to all of your work no matter how big or small

This course makes project management fun and inspiring - a recent delegate said of this course - "for anyone weary of project management courses this is one not to miss"

The course is fast paced and interactive - you will not be sitting quietly and listening. We want to hear about your work and challenges so we can apply the ideas from the course to you and your world.

You will get a chance to try out the ideas for yourself and to have input from other delegates to help you solve your problems.
