2-DAY WORKSHOP
BASICS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This Basic Project Management course is designed to enable trainees to effectively transfer what has been covered in class into the workplace. This requires a high level of clarity of the concepts, confidence, and conviction in applying the concepts in the workplace. The Basic Project Management course is developed with this in mind to achieve the expected project objectives.
To ensure that participants truly understand and can apply what they have learnt in the session, a group-based discussion and mini case study-based approach will be adopted. This will facilitate the enhancement of project management capabilities within the domains of project planning, execution, and monitoring. To better communicate and engage with stakeholders’ practical sessions that demonstrate this concept will be prepared.
This course is based on a two-day intensive face-to-face workshop session in which the participants will be exposed to key concepts relating to project management based on the best practices espoused by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), USA.
The approach for project management that will be adopted will be the one that is most appropriate for the business environment within which the project is undertaken. The approach could be plan based, change based or a mixture of both plan and change based approach.

FAQ & FURTHER INFORMATION
The 70:20:10 Model for Learning and Development has been found to be most effective within the training profession to describe the optimal sources of learning aimed at developing work based competencies. It holds that individuals obtain 70 percent of their knowledge from job-related experiences, 20 percent from interactions with others, and 10 percent from formal educational events.
Based on this model, we propose that the Fundamentals of Project Management course be structured along similar lines. It is proposed that it is undertaken in stages. These stages will include awareness stage, appreciation stage and application stage.
