MANAGING TRAINING PROJECTS

Course Description 

Every training effort, whether Face2Face or Face2Screen has the features of a project. They have start and end dates (project schedule), intended learning outcomes (project result), project manager (training manager), budget (training costs), output (project result – new skills, knowledge, etc.), and constraints of time, budget and scope. Therefore, training programs are projects; a group endeavour carried out to deliver unique product, service or result. We explore in this module some innovative project management tools to help training managers (TM) to deliver training programs on schedule, on budget and to specification.
