An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Project Scheduling and Cost Control
Drive project efficiency with proven scheduling and cost control skills
INTRODUCTION
Projects are critical drivers of organisational growth, but their success depends on careful planning, effective scheduling, and precise cost control. Without these, projects often suffer from missed deadlines, budget overruns, and misaligned objectives. In today’s highly competitive environment, project professionals must balance scope, time, cost, quality, and resources under constant pressure, while maintaining strong communication with stakeholders and senior management.
The Project Scheduling and Cost Control Training Course equips participants with proven concepts, tools, and techniques to manage projects efficiently from initiation to closure. It explores how to create project management plans, schedule tasks realistically, monitor progress, and implement corrective actions when needed.
By mastering these skills, delegates will learn to:
- Define project goals linked to stakeholder expectations.
- Apply techniques for accurate time and cost estimation.
- Manage risks systematically using step-by-step processes.
- Establish control systems to track performance effectively.
- Strengthen decision-making and communication with leadership.
This EuroMaTech Project Scheduling and Cost Control training course emphasises both technical “hard” skills and essential “soft” skills, ensuring participants can deliver projects with greater efficiency, confidence, and measurable impact.
