Overview

If you are new to the role of Project Manager or are becoming involved more and more in your organisation’s project work, then this immersive virtual course is for you. Based on a typical project lifecycle, the course walks you through how projects work from beginning to end and giving you the tools and techniques that are needed to be effective. You will learn how to successfully plan a controlled start to your project, how to manage delivery and then successfully handover to the client all within those classic constraints of time, cost and quality. The course is interactive and uses a case study scenario throughout to bring the learning to life.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
