Anyone who needs an accredited, NQF aligned and credit bearing short-course on project management that is practical and relevant and trained by an expert.

Ideal for someone new to project management or on a project team who does not have a formal project management qualification, but who needs a grasp of the terminology and methodology of project management in order to effectively participate in a project team. This is a great base course for someone embarking on a career as a project manager or who would like to find out if project management is the path for them.

It is also an excellent refresher course.

Add me to the waiting list

Should you need this course urgently, the following options are available:

Pay for 6 delegates (whether you have them or not) and we will schedule the course as soon as possible.
If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
