An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Project Management for Non-Project Professionals
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
The benefits of developing project management skills extend well beyond project managers. For non-project professionals who play a supporting role in projects, understanding the processes, terminology, and practices of project management significantly improves their contribution to project success. However, this critical group often receives limited attention in professional development initiatives.
The Project Management for Non-Project Professionals Training Course by EuroMaTech bridges this gap by offering a structured, practical, and intensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of project management. Delegates will gain insights into how projects are initiated, planned, executed, monitored, and closed. They will also learn how their role can directly support the delivery of successful projects and add measurable value to their teams.
This course equips participants with immediately applicable skills, ensuring they can confidently use project management practices in their day-to-day responsibilities.
