We employ various diagnostic techniques to quickly understand your culture and development opportunities. This includes workshops, one-to-one interviews and surveys to ensure that we fully capture the learning objectives of the course and the project management career aspirations of delegates. Our courses can be tailored for entry level project managers and project team members, but also for more experienced project managers who have been managing projects for several years and have a good understanding of project management principles. Whatever their level of project management experience all attendees will learn practical skills and enhance their professional development.

We focus on clearly defined learning objectives linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy, which includes six levels of learning, ranging from simple recall to complex analysis and synthesis. We use Bloom’s Taxonomy to develop learning objectives that reflect the specific project management skills and knowledge required by a successful project manager. This can help people better understand and apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world project management scenarios.

At the end of this phase the client will approve the course outline and learning outcomes.

The team works together to develop a detailed curriculum, instructional materials and activities that align with the learning objectives identified in the discovery phase. This may involve selecting appropriate training methodologies and creating presentation materials, case studies, exercises and resources. Our trainers are all experienced members of the project profession and talented project managers in their own right. They have expertise developing bespoke courses and also delivering online project management courses such as:

• APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ)
• APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ)
• APM Project Professional Qualification (PPQ)
• Project Management Professional (PMP) from the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Once the training materials are developed, a dry run of the course is conducted to ensure that the learning objectives are met, and the training is engaging and relevant. They can be delivered face-to-face or as an online project management course. Feedback is gathered from participants, and the training is refined based on this feedback.

At the end of this phase the client will approve the course materials.

We utilise the Parallel Learning System, which combines various learning techniques like distance learning, e-learning, podcasts and workshops, to provide active learning that caters to the different learning styles of each project manager.

To manage the delivery process, we employ a robust course management system called Arlo, which handles everything from trainer scheduling and delegate registration to attendance tracking and feedback collection. We also utilise Moodle, one of the most widely used learning management systems, as our e-learning platform. This system provides powerful facilities to track and monitor delegate completion of homework, mock exams and other assignments. To ensure that each course runs smoothly, we run regular course logistics meetings to ensure that the courses are running as planned and discuss necessary changes.

Our goal during the delivery phase is to provide an effective and efficient learning experience that maximises engagement and retention for all learners. We continually assess the effectiveness of our approach, gathering feedback and making adjustments as needed. This ensures that our project management training courses meet the needs of each client and each project manager.

We focus on assessing the effectiveness of the training program and measuring its impact on individuals and the organisation as a whole; whether for beginner project management courses or courses for experienced project professionals.

We conduct formal post-course feedback using structured feedback forms, asking questions about the course content, instructor quality and overall learning experience. We also conduct informal evaluations at the end of each project management course to gather feedback from participants and identify areas for improvement.

We also offer online post-course follow-up to capture the long-term benefits of the training for the organisation. To guide our evaluation process, we again rely on Bloom’s Taxonomy to help us measure the effectiveness of our training program. By using Bloom’s Taxonomy, we are able to evaluate the impact of the training on participants’ knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as on their attitudes and overall job performance.

Our goal during the evaluation phase is to provide meaningful insights into the program’s effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement. In doing so, we can ensure that our training programs continue to deliver tangible benefits to both individuals and organisations.
