What's the Introduction to Project Management course about?

This course is suitable for anyone looking to develop their project management skills and gain a qualification in project management. It is designed to help people already managing projects, people who are thinking of moving into a project management position or anyone within an organisation who is involved with the running of projects. It would also be useful to people undertaking projects outside the workplace, such as property development, planning large social functions or fund raising for charitable events.

The course covers the following topics:
- The project management organisational structure
- The project business case
- Risk management
- Planning and scheduling
- Quality management
- Change control
- People management
- Conflict resolution
- Decision making
- Effective communication
- Cost estimating

Assessment will be through an end of course written report. The report based assessment relies heavily on your experience of working on projects, though not necessarily in a project management position. Students who currently have not been involved with project work need to discuss with the course tutor how they will gain the relevant experience.
