Add this to calendar

Do you have a special project you want to tackle, such as updating your website, automating your inventory, reorganizing your filing cabinets,  moving locations, or hosting an event and are not sure where to start? Are you heading a committee and want to ensure you meet your mandate with minimal hiccups and frustrations? Do you want your employees to have clear lines of communication and work effectively together to meet their targets on a shared initiative? Do you want the skills, knowledge and confidence to make a project as successful as you know it can be?

If you answered Yes to one or more of these questions, Project Management Essentials would be a smart investment of your time. Many business people think Project Management training is only for those working in large companies who head huge projects. Not true! Project Management is an essential skill that every business person could benefit from, understanding and applying inside their company every day.

This 40-hour program is designed to provide you with the fundamentals of Project Management with hands-on, practical know-how. In fact, to make your learning as relevant as possible, participants are asked to choose their own project to apply throughout the course. As a participant you will learn how to :

• Determine the scope of your project and set up achievable goals
• Assign the right people for each task of the project and make sure they understand what is expected of them before the project starts
• Create a schedule for the project with key performance targets and estimated times for completion 
• Develop a budget so you know what it is going to cost before you start
• Create a plan for communicating with everyone throughout the project so the team never feels they are out of the loop
• Assess the effectiveness of the project at the end so you can continue to apply best practices on future projects

If this sounds like a smart way to invest 40 hours of your time so you have the knowledge, skills and techniques for help you build an even stronger business, Project Management Essentials is for you!

"Absolutely thrilled with my experience taking a CBDC-NOBL course...The Project Management course exceeded my expectations! The content was incredibly insightful and well-structured, making even the most complex topics easy to grasp. Lynn MacKinnon's expertise and passion were contagious, creating an engaging and dynamic learning environment. I not only gained valuable knowledge but also practical skills that I can immediately apply in my personal and professional life. This course has truly been a game-changer for me, and I can't wait to continue exploring new subjects and learning opportunities in the future!"  Kate Surrett, Fossil Farms Oceanside Retreat
