Project Management

DURATION: 2 days                COST:  £150

'This is a good basic introduction to project management and you will gain most from it if you can immediately apply learning to a real live project.  I had previously done an introduction to PRINCE2 training but didn't really know what I was doing.  This 2 day programme is good value for money and certainly made things clearer for me and my team.  Highly recommended.'  John T.
