Project Management Essentials (PME) is our flagship project management course. Originally developed about 14 years ago, PME is very likely the longest continuously offered, fundamental-level 3-day project management course in Canada. Although it has undergone changes over the years, this course has consistently remained one of the most popular project management courses available - recognized as such not only by our clients - but also by the organizations that have offered this course to their clients over the years in partnership with WCP.
While other courses of similar scope are available, what sets Project Management Essentials apart from the rest is the integration of a realistic project simulation. The simulation runs throughout the course and challenges participants with the same kinds of twists and turns that real projects inevitably throw at them.
Included as part of the course materials is a course reference book - approximately 50 pages of notes that parallel the key messages contained in the course. Also included are sample project management templates, provided in both hard-copy and electronic format. These materials assist participants in the transition from applying project management concepts in the classroom to applying them in the "real world".
By the time participants complete the course, they appreciate the value and flexibility of a project management methodology. Even more, they exit the course with the confidence to begin applying project management tools to their own projects.
It is seeing this kind of response from participants that has prompted companies to recognize the value of this course and choose it as the must-have project management course for their project managers, project team members, and account managers.
