ONLINE Project Management 1 Day Course (Remote Learning)

The course content remains the same as classroom-based training, however, you’ll attend a scheduled, interactive class via Zoom video conferencing.

If project management makes up a significant part of your role, this course will teach you everything you need to know about setting up and managing a successful project. We invite you to work on a current project during the course, if you can. You can test new techniques and methodologies to plan and schedule, as well as overcome any issues you may be facing.
