TRAINING REQUISITE
There are no prerequisites for the Project Support training course. Whether you have some related previous work experience or you are a new starter, this PM program is for you. We have had delegates with no previous experience enrolled for this program and successfully secured a job once completed.
This training is also designed to give candidates a working understanding of the practical insights and tools used in both traditional and digital project delivery. Candidates will be given the opportunity to deliver a project from inception to completion (Full life cycle project). The Training will not be a classroom-based type of training; it's more of a discussion-based training where instructors will spend the time with the candidates to help guide them through delivering the projects they have been assigned.
