ONLINE Project Management 1 Day Course (Remote Learning)

This 1 day Project Management training course will be delivered remotely, using instructor-led online learning. The course content remains the same as classroom-based training, though you'll attend a scheduled, interactive class via Zoom video conferencing rather than in person. If project management makes up a significant part of your role, this course will teach you everything you need to know about setting up and managing a successful project, and you're invited to work on a current project during the course, if you can.

To take part, you'll need access to a tablet, laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker. Anyone wanting to go further after this introduction should look at the Practical Project Management 2 Day Course, which builds on the fundamentals covered here with a fuller, hands-on look at a project's entire life cycle.

Since risk analysis features as a key part of the day, this course also pairs well with the Risk Management 1 Day Course, for anyone managing significant risk on their projects. There's no formal assessment for this course, but delegates receive a Certificate of Attendance for their records and qualify for 5.5 CPD hours.

This one-day virtual course will give you the tools you need to feel more confident in delivering successful projects. By the end of the day, you'll:

• Understand the basic techniques that underpin successful projects
• Be aware of your own personal strengths
• Understand which areas you need to focus on improving
• Know how planning plays a key role in project management
• Be able to plan, deliver and evaluate a project
• Have the opportunity to work on a live project during the training

On this course, we're going back to the very beginning. Starting with the definition of a project, you'll look at pre-project research, common terminology, who's in the team, their roles, and how to communicate with everyone effectively. Then, the course takes you through the process, step by step, covering:

• Project management techniques
• What makes a successful project?
• Why good communication is important
• Common challenges you might face
• Planning: objectives, desired outcomes and identifying customer needs
• Limitations: resources and timescales
• Risk analysis, budgets and building a team
• Delivery: create a detailed work schedule
• Gantt charts and Critical Path Analysis
• Evaluation: reporting, contingencies and handing over

There's no formal assessment. However, you'll receive a Certificate of Attendance for your records and qualify for 5.5 CPD hours.
