About the Course |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Projects can range from organising a company's | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| move into new premises to such activities as the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| building of a multi-million euro factory plant, the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| development of a hotel complex, or the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| implementation of a new computer system. The | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ability to manage projects is an essential skill | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| which major employers require. So much so, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| that the project management role now forms a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| major part of the activities of medium to large | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| organisations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As a management discipline, Project | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Management has evolved in order to enable |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| managers to successfully plan, co-ordinate and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| control the often complex and diverse activities of modern industrial and commercial | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| projects. The Advanced Diploma in Project Management is a comprehensive course which covers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the key processes and skills required of a professional project manager. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The context is set against a typical project life-cycle and the topics covered are based | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| on best practice from project initiation through to project closure. The Diploma in | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Project Management is accredited by the Institute of Commercial Management and is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| internationally recognised in over 80 countries worldwide. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Course Aims & Objectives | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The course examines the various processes involved in managing of projects, from | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| their initiation, planning, implementation through to a successful closure. The | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
perspective emphasised is that of a manager, senior administrator, engineer or IT specialist in the role of a project manager, responsible for all phases of the project lifecycle. The aim of the course is to help you appreciate project management & its key competencies, understand the importance of the planning process, acquire techniques for estimating durations and project schedules, allocation of resources, cost management & control, risk and response strategies.
Most importantly, the programme will equip you with the skills needed to set up a Project Management Office and for managing Local, National and International Projects. As projects become more obscure, greater competencies are required to manage their complexity. This Diploma course will introduce you to a wide range of project management tools and techniques to help you deal with increasingly complex projects.
