I can deliver remotely, in person at your place, or at a venue of your choice. And if you want to measure how effective the training is, I use the Kirkpatrick Levels of Training Efficacy to see how it's changed performance and behavior.
All my material aligns with international best practices and the latest research in project management. I make sure the training I deliver leads to real, tangible improvements for you and your project managers.

I believe the most effective project management training is the kind that closely aligns with your specific work environment. That's why I offer a unique solution designed to help you develop your own internal project management training program. My extensive training material covers every aspect of project management, and I have the flexibility to customize it to reflect your internal processes and terminology. By integrating your own tools, methods, and language into my materials, I ensure a seamless learning experience that directly relates to what you do.
Here's how it works: I take my comprehensive content and adapt it to match your specific requirements. Then, I can record the training modules and incorporate your branding, making it a valuable asset exclusive to your organization. All this comes for a simple one-time fee—often more cost-effective than sending multiple staff members to external courses—and you gain access to the training materials indefinitely.
If you like, I can even develop a process for observing and measuring behavioral changes resulting from the training. This tailored training solution isn't just great for onboarding new team members; it also serves as a valuable refresher for your existing staff, reinforcing your organization's unique project management approach.
Ready to make your training truly yours? Let's make it happen.
We offer the following modules which can be assembled and customised to suit your training needs:
