Description

Learn both the theoretical fundamentals of Project Management as well as develop the critical skills for a successful career in Project Management.

The programme is designed to facilitate the development of technical competence in areas including risk management, monitoring and control of projects, and procurement, as well as a core understanding of operations management principles, which can plague project delivery.
