Course Description

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]How to get 2 + 2 = 5? This is at the heart of program management. How do you manage a group of projects to get greater impact and control? We will work with participants to understand the challenges that they face and give them the advice, tools, and guidance and assist them in more effectively fulfilling their role, whether that be at the local, regional, or international levels.

We will also ensure that participants are ready to take the Program Dpro certification.

This course is offered in three and four-day options. The principal differences being the amount of time that can be spent practising and building out project management tools, action planning for next steps as well as preparing for the certification exam itself.

In addition, any organisation purchasing a 4-day package will also have an additional day’s consulting to help plan next steps and to advise on how to implement the difference tools and techniques.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Curriculum” tab_id=”1574375880037-8950e0d3-34e8″][vc_column_text]
