Mastering the Basics

Mastering the Basics consists of three courses that introduce the basics of professional project management.  The training package includes a one-day assessment to help custom design the training experience to match your organization’s goals, a three-day project management methodology course, a three-day project management software course, followed by a one-day follow-up audit, and a one-day project management overview for executives.  This package will introduce participants to a disciplined, professional, process-oriented approach to project management that has been taught successfully to hundreds of managers.  Participants will also be exposed to the tools and processes of project management, including how to use Microsoft Project software to better schedule, track and control projects.  (Click on the course titles below to see a detailed course outline from our website.)
