Project Management Foundation (Small Projects) Certificate

Project Management Foundation (Small Projects) Certificate Course

Despite the importance of project management, many workplaces do not spend time investing in small-scale project management. Smaller projects are then left without someone in charge, which only invites disorder and chaos. Project management ensures that everything goes smoothly, including the development and delivery of the product to the client. Effective management can also cut costs and prevent wasted time by focusing on the ultimate goal and taking steps to make it happen. When a team is left without leadership, things can soon become unfocused and disorganised.

This course gives you a solid foundation in project management, focusing on small projects. We go into detail about the general steps you need to take, giving you valuable information you can use to start managing projects effectively. The course begins by discussing how to define and plan the project. Next, we discuss the steps you need to take to complete the project, including how to keep the project running well and on time. We also review the importance of flexibility in project management. Finally, we let you know how to purchase software programs that you can use to make project management much easier.

You will Learn:

  • How small projects are different to large-scale ones
  • The steps involved in effective small project management
  • The best time to set your budget
  • How to schedule your project
  • The qualities you need to learn for your project to run smoothly

Benefits of Taking this Course

  • Learning how to create a purpose statement and why this is important
  • Understanding the factors you need to consider when setting your scope
  • Learning how to build a team that can be successful
  • Understanding the importance of contingency time
  • Learning how to find the best project management software to help with projects of this scale

This course is so easy. I was a little nervous before I started it but even after the first module I was at ease.

The video's are clear and the course is easy to understand.

Everything I need to learn is here, from the basics like handling to bathing to full grooming. you can save the work on to your pc or laptop as you go along so you can go back over it later on. at the end of each module you even get time to practise what you have learnt.

I'm so glad I found this company and will highly recommend.

Great course lots to learn and apply very informative, as a pharmacy assistant this course has given me more knowledge and confidence to provide great services to my customers.

Assignments were easy to follow and I would recommend anyone to study a course at New Skills Academy as you can do them in your own time.

Having a certificate not only boosts my confidence, but also shows my employers that i have learnt new skills and have gained more information that is useful for my area of work.

Thanks very much New Skills Academy, I will study with you again!

Shane Hills

Thanks to this course I can take my career in a new and improved direction. After sustaining injuries where I have to be wheelchair bound I thought career prospects were slim. But now I have qualified I have hope again.

This course is amazingly well structured in such a way that it enabled me to memorise everything and in my own time, and explained in terms everyone could understand, the modules were short and to the point with very little un-needed information and at a great price too!

Online support staff were amazing they couldn't help enough. Messages were sent within 20 minutes and were extremely accurate. The final exam was easy and gave me plenty of time to complete with 30 questions and 30 minutes to answer (although only 10 minutes were needed) after ordering my certificate it was delivered within 48 hours. It looks amazing and the quality is great too.

Excellent course was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed completing it. Compiled of perfect size modules – not too long or short, to the point and excellent value for money.

Great idea to be able to print off each module to not only keep but to be able to refer to for the final exam at the end. Would highly recommend anyone who owns a pet of any type as all the information is relative all round. Great for anyone setting up a business involving pets just as much as a pet owner.

Course run very well and easy to access.

Whilst doing an internship in an Estate Agency, I decided to study the Estate Agent Diploma to gain a better understanding of the regulations and the best ways to go about visits and building my network. I found the course to be very comprehensive and easy to follow.

I’d recommend this to anyone looking to broaden their knowledge of the field of Estate Agency. I found the time estimates to be right if you are simply reading, but I took several pages of notes and so took longer, as I wanted to really understand what I was reading.

Overall, comprehensive and easy to follow.

Having recently started a role in the payroll department I felt I needed to gain knowledge from as many sources as possible.

I found this course to be thorough, easy to understand and the website easy to navigate. It gave me a much greater understanding of payroll systems, the legal obligations of an employer and HMRC guidelines.

I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone starting out or wanting to progress in a payroll role.
