About This Module
This one‑day module offers an accessible and practical introduction to the key principles of project management. Designed for anyone looking to build confidence in managing tasks, people, timelines, and outcomes, this course gives delegates a clear understanding of how projects work and how they can be delivered successfully from start to finish.
Project management is a highly valued skill across industries worldwide. Qualified and confident project managers bring structure, clarity, and leadership to business initiatives — whether managing operational changes, commercial projects, digital transformation, or team‑based tasks. Successful projects typically require careful coordination of resources, clear communication, stakeholder management, and the ability to foresee and navigate risks. This course highlights these core skills and provides practical tools that can be applied immediately in the workplace.
Even for those who are not project managers by job title, project management skills are a major asset. They help employees support their managers more effectively, contribute to better planning, and keep work on track, on time, and within budget.
A strong project management approach can transform unexpected challenges into opportunities. With an understanding of risk identification, planning, communication and change management, delegates will learn how to minimise disruptions and maintain project momentum — even when obstacles arise.
No prior knowledge or experience is required, making this course an excellent starting point for aspiring project managers or professionals looking to enhance their organisational, planning, and leadership skills.
