Project Management Training

As someone who either is a project manager, or is planning to become one, you will benefit from project management training. However, picking the right course for you depends a lot on where you are in your project management career.

In Velopi, we divide our courses up broadly into those leading to some sort of either professional or academic accreditation and those that do not. We have developed these courses in order to impart the essential skills of project management. We use hands-on exercises and engaging case studies to reinforce the course material and to allow our students to transfer their new knowledge immediately to the workplace.
