An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Project Planning Scheduling and Control
Plan Smart, Schedule Right, Control Success
INTRODUCTION
Projects are critical drivers of organisational success, requiring structured approaches to achieve results within defined scope, cost, quality, and time. The Project Planning Scheduling and Control Training Course by EuroMaTech equips professionals with the essential tools and techniques to effectively plan, schedule, and control projects across the entire lifecycle.
Conflict, competing priorities, and limited resources are inevitable in projects.

Delegates will learn to initiate projects, prepare detailed management plans, monitor progress, and close projects with measurable outcomes.
Through practical exercises and real-world insights, participants will strengthen both technical and interpersonal skills needed to deliver projects successfully. The course emphasises not only methodologies and tools but also the leadership skills required to engage stakeholders and enhance collaboration.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The Project Planning Scheduling and Control Training uses an interactive and practice-driven approach to learning. Participants will engage in case studies, simulations, and group exercises that replicate real project scenarios.
Expert-led presentations will introduce planning, scheduling, and control concepts, while hands-on exercises will allow delegates to apply tools such as work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, and project control systems. Group discussions encourage knowledge-sharing, and role-play exercises reinforce leadership and communication skills.
This blended methodology ensures delegates not only understand theoretical concepts but also gain practical experience in applying them, improving both their technical capabilities and soft skills essential for project success.
TRAINING SUMMARY
The Project Planning Scheduling and Control Course develops the dual competencies required for project success: technical “hard” skills and interpersonal “soft” skills. Delegates will gain the ability to apply planning and scheduling methodologies, estimate costs and timelines accurately, manage risks, and establish strong project control systems.
At the same time, the course focuses on leadership, communication, and stakeholder management, enabling participants to address human challenges and resolve conflicts effectively. For organisations, the benefits include better project outcomes, improved resource utilisation, and enhanced alignment with strategic goals.
By combining theory, practical application, and real-world examples, this EuroMaTech course ensures that participants return equipped with the knowledge and confidence to lead projects that are efficient, compliant, and strategically valuable.
