About this course

What the Project Development and Testing course covers

Project Development and Testing is taught entirely online, so there is nothing to attend and no start date to wait for. The material comes as 4 modules and takes about 2.5 hours end to end. The pace is entirely yours: sit it in an afternoon or spread it over a month.

The course works through The Seven Phases of Project Development, How to Develop a Project Concept, The Important Role of Time Management and Communication and The Need for Project Testing.

It is open to anyone, and written for people who have to use the subject rather than be examined on it. We list 8 Project Management courses, of which 4 sit at Professional development. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. It carries CPD accreditation, which is what makes the hours usable on a CPD log, and the certificate downloads straight away.

Buyer guide

Is this the right course for you?

Best fit

Project Development and Testing is a sensible shortlist choice when you want a structured route through the published syllabus rather than a general overview of the whole subject. Its 4-module plan starts with The Seven Phases of Project Development and How to Develop a Project Concept, which gives you a clear indication of the assumed starting point. That shape is likely to be most useful for coordinators, team leaders and people running projects without the job title whose training need matches those topics. It is a weaker fit if you only need one isolated skill, or if an employer has specified a different standard, awarding body or practical assessment. Before buying, compare that requirement with the final modules on The Important Role of Time Management and Communication and The Need for Project Testing as well as the course title.

How to use the syllabus

Treat the module list as a study plan, not just a contents page. Begin with The Seven Phases of Project Development and How to Develop a Project Concept and note any terms or processes you need to revisit. Around the middle, How to Develop a Project Concept acts as a useful checkpoint: if you can explain that material without looking back, move on; if not, repeat the preceding section before adding more. The later work on The Important Role of Time Management and Communication and The Need for Project Testing is where you can test whether the earlier ideas connect. After each block, write a short example from your own work or a realistic scenario. That simple retrieval step makes self-paced learning more useful than clicking straight through to completion.

Check before enrolling

The listed study time is 2.5 hours; reserve more time if the subject is new to you or you plan to make detailed notes. No fixed access period is stated in the validated course facts; ask us before enrolling if a deadline matters to your plans. A downloadable or printable completion certificate is described, but it records course completion rather than replacing a regulated qualification. The course carries a CPD accreditation reference; still check that your employer or professional body accepts this exact course for the purpose you have in mind.

Full course details from the training provider

Once a project officially kicks-off, it enters the development stage. This is essentially the phase at which the project begins to slowly materialize, with team members actively working towards achieving the goal. At this point, stakeholders have been consulted, the project has been pitched and accepted, and it is now time to move into the development phase.

During the development stage, a project will go through its conception, initiation, implementation, and follow-up phases. At some point during the development stage, team members will begin to create test scenarios, which will lead to the testing phase. The testing phase is the examination and investigation period of a project, which is intended to inform stakeholders of performance levels and allow them to evaluate potential failure risks.
