Fundamentals in Project Management

Context

This course is ideal for making participants more familiar with projects and project-based work. What is a project anyway and how can you approach it in a structured(er) way? How do you go about planning and how do you deal with stakeholders, risks and the correct follow-up of your project? Participants leave with concrete and pragmatic tools to immediately apply in their daily operations and work more project-oriented. 

Our approach

• This training consists of 2 (consecutive or non-consecutive) training days.
• The course offers a mix of theoretical underpinnings and practical exercises.
• Each participant should preferably have a project as a project leader or project team member.
• The training provides the opportunity for experience exchange with other participants.
• The learning experience is supported and enhanced by the use of an online learning platform.
• A training certificate can be provided.
