Putting Project Management into Practice

Overview

Course duration: 2 days.

A unique opportunity for a hands-on project management experience! Apply project management skills and techniques in a ‘real’ project management situation with our new project management simulation workshop. We use the ‘SimulTrain’ simulation tool to provide the real life project management environment for the participants.

The course itself will involve working as part of a team on a ‘real life’ project with the ‘Simultrain’ project management simulation model, enabling you to apply the theory and manage a project through to conclusion.

Is it right for me?

This workshop is ideal for those who are fairly new to project management and want to practise and develop project tools and techniques in a risk free environment. The workshop enables participants to learn by doing and to utilise new skills in a ‘real’ project environment.

In addition to the public date, this workshop is available to be delivered exclusively to your organisation and provides a great opportunity to give your project teams the chance to work together in a best practice environment.

What will I learn?

During this workshop participants will be able to try out new skills in a risk free live' case study.

By the end of this course you will be able to:
