Aims
To provide those who run projects within their organisation with practical skills and knowledge so that they can deliver and demonstrate successful project outcomes.
Content
The nature of work in the voluntary sector means that we are often taking on the role of project management and running lots of projects at once; we also have to manage the expectations of project funders and deliver results.
This course will take you through the whole range of project management principles and practical tools, and focus on the practical techniques and tools to enhance your skills for setting up, running and managing a project.
Participants will need to have a current or potential project idea to bring to the course on which their assessed work will be based.
