Course Overview

This course is aimed at participants new to project management or project team members looking for a solid foundation and methodology for further skills development.  This course uses the project lifecycle as a framework and focuses on providing participants with practical project management tools and techniques. The course content includes identifying project goals and undertaking scoping, planning, risk management, communication and closing activities.

ZOOM Virtual Classroom

Our virtual classroom consists of a facilitator teaching the class to students who are dialed in remotely to the class session. Presentation slides and other digital files can be presented during the training session using the Zoom platform and the student may either focus on these resources or the facilitator. 

To enable connection, you will require the following set-up:

- Sufficient internet connection – Zoom is successful on a 4G network. Any network better than 4G will enhance the student’s experience;
- A PC with a web-camera, microphone and the capacity to run the Zoom application to allow the facilitator to better interact with students in the same manner as a traditional classroom; and
- Sufficient sized monitor or screen
