Overview

Project Management might seem simple on the surface, but what does being a Project Manager actually entail? Is it possible to become a successful Project Manager without much experience? Is it really as easy as it sounds?

This course answers all those questions and more. You’ll learn what skills you need to become an effective Project Manager, what goes into delivering a successful project and what challenges you might face in your new role.

We’ll also examine the different approaches to Project Management including PRINCE 2, Agile and Scrum while exploring topics such as risk management, communication skills and how to motivate your team.

Each module will be followed by a short assessment to reinforce what you’ve learnt and you’ll even hear from professional Project Managers, who will give you some insight into what being a Project Manager is really like.

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.
