Project Management Courses

Project management training covering the recognised methodologies, the certifications employers ask for, and the practical skills of planning, risk and delivery. Courses run in the classroom, live online and as e-learning, from first-time project leads through to experienced practitioners formalising what they already do.

Choosing a Methodology

PRINCE2

The structured, stage-gated method used widely across UK government, construction and regulated industries. Foundation covers the principles, themes and processes; Practitioner tests whether you can apply them to a real project scenario. See PRINCE2 courses.

AgilePM

Agile Project Management applies iterative delivery within a governed framework — useful where requirements evolve but the organisation still needs control and reporting. Often taken alongside PRINCE2 rather than instead of it. See AgilePM courses.

Practical Project Skills

For those managing projects without pursuing a certification — scoping, scheduling, budgeting, stakeholder management and closing out. Suits team leads and managers who have inherited project responsibility alongside an existing role, and works as a foundation before committing to PRINCE2 or AgilePM.

Risk & Governance

Identifying, quantifying and controlling project risk, and the governance structures that keep delivery accountable to a sponsor or board. See risk management training.

Related Disciplines

Project management rarely sits on its own. Most project leads also need leadership and management skills for the people side of delivery, and operations management where projects hand over into business as usual. In construction, project responsibility usually brings statutory duties under the CDM Regulations and site qualifications such as SMSTS.
