Course FAQs

Q. They’re many project management courses out there, what makes yours different?
Open up a book on project management or flick through course material and we find that much of it can be overly theoretical and easily applicable to how we run projects. The founders of PMc feel that most people embarking upon entry level project management courses do so because they want to kick start a career in project management. Our approach is entirely different and begins with a series of sessions where we demystify all the jargon and distil our experience to give you a highly effective but simple toolbox for effective project management. This cuts across a range of different methodologies and approaches. However, PMc believe that this is only half of what you need. We then focus on how you can personally develop your career in project management. We’ll share with you how we built our careers and show you how you can achieve success. We believe this is completely unique in the marketplace right now.

Q. What’s in it for me?
You’ll get an opportunity to explore whether one of the UK’s fastest growing sectors is right for you. You’ll do this with people who understand the industry well. Because of our unique practical approach we believe you will be able to significantly improve your chances of securing your first project management role.

Q. Is the course fee real value for money?
Yes it is and this is the bit we’re most excited about! Because we don’t need to spend money on expensive trainers our overheads are very low. But don’t take our word for it. We encourage you to shop around to find a provider that will give you a solid foundation in project management and work with you to develop a personalised action plan to get that first job. We’d be surprised if this costed in at less than £1,000.

Q. What guarantee can you give that I will secure a project management role?
One of our founding principles as a business is honesty and integrity. So the simple answer is that we are not able to guarantee that you secure the role you want. However, we are not aware of any learning providers or career counseling services that provide a guarantee. We at PMc are very passionate about project management and understand the industry intimately. We have built highly successful careers using the techniques that we will share with you on the day. With our knowledge and your commitment we feel confident that you can achieve your goals.

Q. I’m a non-manager – am I really going to get anything out of this course?
Well, do you like working with people? Do you have the ability to motivate others? Do you enjoy working across business functions? If so, this is the right place to start for you!
