A confident project manager will skilfully blend their people and organisational skills to get results that satisfy both clients and colleagues, and your bottom line. Great project management taps into the right resources at the right time and and calls on you to be agile, flexible, and customer-focused.

In two in-depth online sessions focused on practical learning, we will share a best practice approach to project management you can apply to projects of any size, virtually or in person, as well as methods and techniques to juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball. This course focuses on putting the client (internal or external) at the heart of your team, maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of your communications both internally and externally to drive client project success. You’ll learn how to establish collaborative team working and use resources effectively, getting everyone on board, as you keep everything on track, on time, and on budget. We'll explore how to build relationships and trust with all stakeholders to keep everything running smoothly and what you can do when things change or go wrong. Whether you're new to project management or have been in the role a while, this workshop provides tried and tested techniques to develop you into a confident project manager.
