About this course

What the Project Management Introduction course covers

This is an online project management course you work through in your own time, on a phone, tablet or laptop. 6 modules, 90 minutes of study, and no deadline on either. Nothing expires part way through, so an interrupted evening costs you nothing.

The material takes in Introducing Project Management, Terminology and Project Lifestyle, Identifying Needs, Project Aims and Objectives and Project Aims, Objectives and Initiation. There are 2 further modules beyond those, listed in full on the Modules tab.

It starts from the beginning, so no previous project management training is assumed. It is one of 8 Project Management courses on the site. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

What this course is not: If you already work in project management day to day, expect the early material to feel familiar.

Buyer guide

Is this the right course for you?

Best fit

Project Management Introduction 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 6-module plan starts with Introducing Project Management and Terminology and Project Lifestyle, 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 Gantt Charts, Budgets, Risks and Issues and Monitoring Change, Stakeholders and Terminology 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 Introducing Project Management and Terminology and Project Lifestyle and note any terms or processes you need to revisit. Around the middle, Identifying Needs, Project Aims and Objectives 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 Gantt Charts, Budgets, Risks and Issues and Monitoring Change, Stakeholders and Terminology 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 90 minutes; 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.

Course Description

The effective management of projects is an essential skill in many workplaces. Correct control of stages and different aspects of projects helps to increase the chances of projects being successful.

There are many tools and approaches to managing projects, from a simple ‘to do’ list, to complex methodologies.

When a project is managed correctly it ensures that there’s a sound business reason for undertaking the project, that it’s clear who’s involved in delivering the project, what the expected outcomes are and how resources and risks will be managed throughout the project.

When it’s done poorly the project can suffer from feature creep, delays, go over budget, or not get finished at all.

This course covers some of the common project management methodologies, setting goals, and actually achieving them, identifying the need for a project to be started, using key project management tools, and much more.
