Project Management Training Course

Location: Lagos.

Fee: N85, 000

Duration: 4days

Utilising PMBOK, a global standard, this Project Management training course will give you an overview of the entire project management process, as well as key project management tools that can be used every day.

The importance of delivering business results to specification, on time and within budget is critical to the success of any project, and that is exactly what project management skills enable you to do – even if it is not officially called a ‘project’. The ability to successfully manage projects from beginning to end, no matter their size, is a highly desirable skill in today’s workplace.

In the past few decades, organisations have discovered something incredible: the principles that have been used to create enormous successes in large projects can be applied to projects of any size to create amasing success. As a result, many employees are expected to understand project management techniques and how to apply them to projects of any size.

The project management role is arguably the most challenging of roles within the project team. As the project progresses through its various life cycle stages, project managers must be able to adapt themselves to the changing demands of the project and the team.

Effective and efficient Project Managers will ensure project success and help organisations and individuals exceed stakeholder expectations. This workshop will give participants an overview of the entire project management process, as well as key project management tools that they can use every day.
