How long is a project management course?

Our open courses are 2-days in duration to cover all the essential project management skills you need. They will give you a thorough foundation in what you need to learn to be effective in your role.

We can also run supervisor training as an in-house programme. With this, you can select the basic project management skills that your people need, and we will design and deliver a customised course around them. Some skills might be more important than others in your line of work so we will tailor the training accordingly.

Are your open courses suited to me?

Our open courses are ideal if you’re new to project management. Perhaps you were previously a team member and are now responsible for leading projects – or you may even be managing a team of colleagues you once worked alongside, which presents its own unique challenges.

Our project management training courses are also perfect if you’ve never had formal training. Whether you’ve found yourself in the role unexpectedly or haven’t had the chance to build your skills over the years, our courses provide you with the best practices and techniques to excel in managing projects effectively.
