Details
A 4-day intensive project management workshop that gives a comprehensive overview of the main features, tools, and techniques of project management. This course is aligned to SAQA US 120385 - Apply a range of project management tools and techniques, at NQF level 4 for 7 credits. This course also builds on US 120372 - Explain the fundamentals of project management.
Delegates will work on case studies and apply the knowledge to their work environment. Delegates will complete formative and summative assessments in class and prepare a Portfolio of Evidence, which will be formally assessed and submitted to Service Seta to be verified.
This course covers essential project management principles, methodologies, and tools, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively plan, execute, and control projects in various organizational contexts. By exploring frameworks like Waterfall, PMBOK, PRINCE2, and Agile, learners gain a broad understanding of when and how to apply each. Participants also dive into organizational structures, roles, and responsibilities—ensuring they can navigate stakeholder relationships and establish clear lines of authority.
Key topics such as the project life cycle, goals and objectives, and creating a project charter help solidify foundational concepts. Meanwhile, risk management, communication strategies, and planning tools (like WBS, PERT, and Gantt charts) add depth to practical, day-to-day project leadership. Ultimately, learners emerge with a well-rounded toolkit for project delivery, from scope definition and budgeting to stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and effective decision-making.
