Course description 
This introductory course gives you a step-by-step approach to managing projects essential for success. Modeled after the latest version of the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), this course is therefore a comprehensive view of what to do from project start to finish in order to meet project requirements, on time, and within budget. Participants learn what points to cover when planning a project, and tips on effective implementation.
Participants learn the most important project management skills through case studies, hands-on exercises and practical experiences that can immediately be applied to any project.

For anyone involved in a project, the Project Management Practices Course offers basic but rigorous training in the essentials of project management. The Project Management Practices Course presents you with a systematic approach to defining projects and developing reliable plans to achieve the project's goals. Participants in the course will learn to define team responsibilities and project goals, optimize schedules, identify risks and create contingency plans, and use the right metrics to track project development. Open to representatives of all functional disciplines, the Project Management Practices Course attendees apply the process to real-life projects and thus generate useable results. Every attendee acquires hands-on experience by applying the new concepts and techniques to real-time projects rather than case studies―an immediate, tangible benefit to their organizations.
Course description
Microsoft Project (MSP) is a powerful tool―and a complex software application that users rarely exploit to its full potential. Without proper training, organizations lose time and money as users struggle on their own with MSP and ultimately give up, or at best get a small taste of its capabilities. PM-Global provides effective training that can help you realize the full benefits of MSP. We integrate the tool with the solid project management process of P&MP, so every "click" is meaningful. Attendees will gain an understanding of how MSP supports project management, from project initiation to closure. This course is available in versions 98, 2000, and 2002 (Standard and Professional), and further divided into three levels, according to your needs: Essentials, Advanced, and Enterprise.
Course description
This course provides training in the MSP tool so attendees can apply the P&MP methodologies immediately. The advantage of this course is the application of tools and process training in an interactive "workshop" environment, rather than the non-collaborative, work-on-your-own atmosphere that is typical of tools training. As in P&MP, attendees learn a step-by-step process of planning and managing projects by leveraging their real-time, current projects.

Course description
Helps project managers create high-value outcomes while building sustainable relationships. Each of us "negotiates" every day, in many aspects of our lives. Whenever we are trying to influence or persuade a stakeholder about project requirements or changes to project scope, we are, in essence, negotiating. How well we manage these interactions impact the success of the project and the quality of our relationships with project stakeholders.
