The 8-week Project DPro Practitioner course is designed to be completed in three parts:

Part 1: Learners complete a number of short courses related to 6 Project Management competency areas.   Participants are then asked to demonstrate how their learning will help them develop as project managers.

Part 2: Learners complete a series of informal learning activities, identifying and reading a selection articles on advanced project management topics.

Part 3: Learners have the opportunity to “give back” to the NGO project management community by providing examples or case studies from you’re their own practice.

As you go through the course, you will interact with facilitators and other learners, exploring ideas and participating in conversations about the different skills and tools of project management.  Learning activities include course readings, instructional videos, and e-learning modules.

Everything about the course design is flexible!  The learning platform is accessible when you want – day or night.  As you go through the course, modules will unlock – as long as you are doing the work! The platform allows you to go back and review what others are saying. If you need to take a break, you can catch up. The course is also mobile-ready, so you continue to learn when you are on-the-go.

For best results, we recommend that you develop a learning plan that allocates approximately 4-5 hours each week for study.  In order to progress through the course, you will need to complete  the learning activities. You will also be expected to join in course discussions, contributing to discussions and responding to your classmates’ comments! The more you do, the more you learn  and the faster you progress through the course. We hope that this creates an interesting learning and sharing experience.
