Why this course exists

To develop project management skills with method, a common language and application capability, while also supporting preparation for the certification exam.

In many organisations, project management “exists” but fails in critical areas: common language, prioritisation and governance, realistic planning, stakeholder management, control and evidence, and integration between predictive, agile and hybrid approaches.

The PMP® exam is associated with project management, leadership, process and business environment competencies. The course helps participants consolidate knowledge and practice in the main areas assessed, through a structured preparation approach.

What this course enables you to do

Lead teams and stakeholders

Apply techniques to lead teams, manage expectations and increase collaboration effectiveness in projects.

Structure and control the project

Consolidate foundations of planning, execution, monitoring and control, with a focus on results and evidence.

Manage risk, quality and change

Understand practices to reduce risk, assure quality and manage changes with impact on time, cost and scope.

Prepare for the exam

Train reasoning and exam terminology with original practical questions, Behaviour® simulation where applicable and study strategy.
