Practical PM Training

"Finally, a course that teaches the 'how' of project management
from an experienced veteran." – Karin Brame

I've provided more than 330 PM courses to more than 3,300 people in the Ottawa region since 2007, and would be pleased to help your team too!

This course is built on proven PMI best practices.  It will give your team practical skills they can apply right away.  You will be able to plan your projects as efficiently as possible, so you can establish realistic expectations before you start.  Your projects will be optimized: easier, less expensive, faster, and less risky.  You will be able to constructively communicate with management as your projects proceed.  And you will earn a Practical Project Manager (PPM) certificate, increasingly a career differentiator on LinkedIn.

You will also receive the following resources not available from any other PM course or vendor:

• Book. The book Deeply Practical Project Management providing comprehensive coverage of the PM best practices to help you manage your projects large and small.

• Videos. Free lifetime access to a library of more than 200 videos that walk through the entire PM process that you can refer to long after the course is over.  This library is currently used by more than 40% of the Fortune 100, including companies like Aflac, Box, Mattel, Nasdaq, Tata, and Volkswagon, and many more, and subscribed by more than 50,000 students.

• Professional Example. A complete set of professional PM documentation that you can use as a model for your own projects, including a Project Charter, Stakeholder Register, Work Breakdown Structure, Precedence Diagram, Project Plan, Gantt Schedule, Risk Register, and much more.

• MS Office Guide. The guide Project Planning With MS Office, explaining how to use Microsoft Office applications to effectively manage your project's scope, schedule, and budget.

• Certificate. A certificate documenting you have earned 14 Professional Development Units (PDU's), and bestowing on you the credential Practical Project Manager (PPM).

Whether you are a new Project Manager, an experienced PM looking for a review, or just want to understand the best practices, this course will help your project performance and advance your career.  The course also provides excellent preparation for those pursuing a PMP or CAPM certification with the Project Management Institute (PMI).
