You are here: Home » Course Portfolio » Project Management » Applied Project Management
The principles of project management are generic and therefore can be applied to all projects regardless of business sector. Many organisations are now utilising these project management principles to standardise and improve their approach to managing activities and business change.
The aim of this course is to provide participants from any business sector with an easy to understand pragmatic approach to project management, which in conjunction with other accredited courses, will develop participants to a level of understanding sufficient to take the APMP examination.
This module focuses largely on the ‘hard skills’ of project management and is intended to provide participants with the knowledge and practical skills to structure a project using established tools, techniques and processes.
This course will help learners to:
- Have a greater awareness of the skills and project tools required to help manage client expectations
- Competently apply project management tools to help plan and deliver projects within realistic timeframes
- Confidently coordinate multiple contributors within projects
- Be able to apply a single methodology to project planning and management
- Have the knowledge required to record best practice and variances to improve efficiencies in the future
- Be able to create suitable materials for future Project Managers
