Project Management Diploma

Course Synopsis :
Project Management skills prepare the student for taking up a career in the profession of Project Management.
Project Management spans a wide industrial sector base including engineering, construction, information technology, manufacturing and many other business sectors. In the United Kingdom and Europe there is a strong move towards establishing PRINCE2 as a standard in structured project management. This course embraces elements of PRINCE2 but generally provides a wider foundation in Project Management across a much broader spectrum.
