Education and Training

Project Management Practice
Our new Project Management Practice programmes are designed for graduates who are looking to move into project management, and for practitioners interested in deepening and widening their competence, expertise and professional practice. These courses provide students with the ability to act as better project managers through reflection on how the techniques learned solve real-life problems in their project environments.

We provide a springboard for personal and professional development and career progression. These programmes are constructed in block-release format combined with additional work and assessment in order to enable students in full-time employment to complete the course.
