Want to set up, steer and complete projects successfully? During the Project Management course you get a grip on planning, budget and team roles. You learn to work through all the phases of a project and to avoid the pitfalls, so that you bring every project to a successful conclusion with confidence.
Description
In this Project Management course you learn how to set up and guide a project from start to finish using the working in projects method. You go through all the phases of a project, from definition through to completion, and you get a grip on the structure needed to achieve a predetermined goal within time and budget.
You work on skills to keep an overview of and control over the planning, allocate tasks and take the lead. You also pay attention to the roles of everyone involved, to communication within the project team and to finances and risk management. Common pitfalls and setbacks are covered, so that you know how to anticipate them.
The course alternates theory with practical cases and discussions in which you link what you have learned directly to your own working situation. The course material includes a syllabus with step-by-step plans, checklists and overviews that you can continue to use alongside your work.
For teams and organisations. If you want a group of project leaders to work in the same way, we can run this course in-company, using your own projects as practice material.
Topics
- The entire project cycle
- Setting up the project and the organisation around it
- Tasks, people and planning
- Breaking projects down, phasing and planning them
- Managing and steering projects professionally
- Leading in projects
- Communicating within projects, including remotely and in hybrid teams
- Working as part of a team
- Working to deadlines
- Evaluating results
- Pitfalls and risks
Result
After this course you will know how to set up and manage a project from start to finish. You will work through all the project phases independently, from definition to completion, and keep control of planning, budget and risks.
You will recognise the various roles within a project and know how to manage and communicate with the staff involved. You will be able to draw up a project plan, schedule and risk analysis, and you will spot pitfalls in time.
With the practical checklists and overviews from the course material you can get started straight away in your own working situation as a project leader or project team member.
Target audience
This course is particularly suitable for (aspiring) project leaders and project managers, and for employees who carry out project management tasks within profit and non-profit organisations.
You don't need to obtain a PRINCE2 or IPMA certificate: this course is for people who lead or work on projects in practice and want to do that better. If you do want a certificate, take a look at IPMA-D.
Teaching method
During this course you alternate theory with discussions about its application in your own working situation and short practical cases. This way you apply the theory covered directly to recognisable situations. The link back to your own practice is central, because that gives you the grounding to put what you have learned to use straight away in your own environment.
The course material contains many practical overviews and checklists that you can keep using alongside your day-to-day work.
Prior knowledge
No specific prior knowledge is required for this course. Do you already have experience with projects or do you work in a team that works on a project basis? Then you will recognise many situations more quickly, but that is certainly not necessary.

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

What others say about this course
Project Management course: average 8.5 from 46 reviews
“Very enjoyable course with clear learning objectives, everything was explained clearly and there was plenty of room for questions and explanation.”
“A very enjoyable course that provides enormously helpful guidance for those starting out as project managers. The trainer was very good and enthusiastic and motivates all participants with his passion for the subject!”
"A practice-oriented course. Afterwards you can get started with it straight away. Good value for money."
“Excellent course that brings the theory to life for you.”
"The Project Management course is a course that gives you structure for both small and large projects. The tools on offer can be used straight away or are interesting to develop further. The diversity of the participants was also an instructive side benefit that worked out inspiringly and refreshingly, as we shared each other's experiences."
"The Project Management course works perfectly well online: it gives a lot of insight into the process theories and methods. But it also leaves plenty of room to bring in your own practical questions and cases and discuss them with the group, which is why this course remained interesting throughout. The trainer has a great deal of practical experience and combined that well with the theory."
“It had been quite some time since I last worked with this material consciously and actively. I was given a pleasant wake-up call and immediately received the right tools to press ahead. Really great!”
"The Project Management course I attended was extremely good: it was genuine training in working on a project basis and in setting up, controlling and managing projects. Because of the small number of participants, everyone had the opportunity to raise their practical questions and have them explained. What was covered in the course can be applied directly by me in practice. In short, this is not a course but training as training should be."
"I already had some experience with projects. The content of the course matched that experience well, which meant I could use a lot of practical examples and take in the material easily. Thanks to the course, I was able to analyse and deal with the various problems that arose during those earlier projects."
"An interesting course that takes you into the world of project management. After the course you have enough basic knowledge to get started in practice."
“Enjoyable and interesting course. The material is not drummed into you but is presented in the right doses. The practical assignments were fun to do. I also thought it was good that the class is capped at 4 participants, which makes the most of the interaction between trainer and participant. That is what you come for, after all...!”
“A substantively strong and practice-oriented course in which all the points I raised beforehand were covered in detail. The alternation between theory and practice was pleasant and immediately applicable. Thanks to Hans's extensive practical experience, I picked up valuable tips and learned to look at everyday work challenges in a different way. The course was excellently run, well organised and the contact was pleasant. As an addition, I would like to see soft skills practised through role-play as well.”
“A very useful course for people who, as project managers, want to bring proper order to their work”
"I had not expected to get so much out of a course in as short a period as three days. I also more than achieved my personal learning objectives. The course tied in very well with practice, particularly because the trainer was able to respond to my own situation from his own experience. My new knowledge is not only immediately applicable, but also a sound basis for a follow-up course."
“the trainer in particular is what I would recommend.”
"Because of his approach, I can wholeheartedly recommend this trainer as someone who will expertly help you become more at home in the practice of project management."
“I am very pleased that the trainer managed to cover project management from A to Z, exactly what I had hoped for! Plenty of key terms and concepts I can already put to use..... All of it delivered in a pleasant and varied way, which I found very instructive!”
“I learnt practical applications based on the theory.”
“A very practical course for learning the basics of working with projects, in which you learn and apply various tools and techniques for writing a project plan. Highly recommended!”
“I thought it was an enjoyable course in small groups at a good location and the trainer was highly competent. Excellent! Learned a lot.”
“Enjoyable and interesting three-day course with plenty of room for examples from the practice of the participants and the trainer. The trainer delivers the course with a great deal of expertise, creates a good atmosphere in the group and has a sense of humour, which makes the material stick all the better.”
"A course I really got something out of, with a great trainer who teaches with passion and enthusiasm, creates variety and really knows what she is talking about!"
"If you have no experience with project management at all, this is a good course."
“A very complete course on how to approach projects. A good basis to get started with. Plenty of practical examples are used and the trainer tries to apply the material to your own working environment. It is not just theory; every day there are one or two practical assignments. You are in a small group, so there is a lot of personal attention. The participants come from a wide range of sectors, so the material is looked at from different perspectives, which is very enjoyable. All in all, recommended!”
“Within three days you get a good picture of how 'project management' works. You can actually get started with it straight away.”
“Learnit is an excellent organisation that delivers its courses well in first-rate surroundings. I had a good trainer and a lovely lunch.”
"If you are looking for a practice-oriented Project Management course, this course is an excellent choice. Over three days, the various aspects of a project are covered and you are able to draw up an initial plan of approach. You work on your own (future) project and by the end of the course you have more than enough tools to tackle it with confidence."
“During the Project Management course I was in a small group of 3 people, which I found very pleasant. It is also good that the course strikes a sound balance between theory and practice. This helps you master the theory even better. In a word: an outstanding course.”
“The specialist trainer responds well to questions and points of confusion. The course material can be used well as a reference work. It is very positive that the trainer engages properly with practical examples from the group.”
“Thinking carefully beforehand about what I wanted to achieve myself and about the content the course offers meant that I learned from this course what I expected to. There were also points I had given less thought to previously that have now become very clear to me, allowing me to avoid pitfalls.”
“A very instructive course that is also structured in a very practical way. Through practical examples and assignments you are shown the ropes of working on a project basis. Because I had a private course, I had the advantage that everything was tailored to my situation.”
“Pleasant course leader, with an example from his own environment, which proved very clear and applicable!”
“As a beginner with no previous project management experience, I found this course excellent. I learned a great deal and was given valuable, practical tools to get started with and to keep a good overview. They were three thoroughly enjoyable and instructive days.”
"I really enjoyed the Project Management course. A highly competent trainer who also knows the practical side well. Demanding, but definitely worth it."
"Excellent course with great practical applicability."
“The course provides both a sound theoretical basis and its practical application. This is done through a well-structured treatment of the material combined with some case studies to put it into practice. Ultimately you want the subject matter to become second nature, rather than a trick you have learned. They have found a good method for that. The small group size is also very pleasant. Plenty of room for personal questions.”
“A project may look complicated, but if you apply project management and work on a project basis it becomes a lot clearer. Suddenly, paths with benches appear in the forest. That makes the walk through a project a lot more enjoyable.”
“Learnit's project management course gives a good insight into the process steps and the decision points for each phase. The subject matter is fairly complex, but thanks in part to the trainer's sound, enthusiastic and thorough approach, you are guided nicely through the steps of working on a project basis.”
“An enjoyable and above all instructive course with room for your own input and ideas. The participants and the learning objectives of the company concerned were listened to carefully.”
"Excellent course that is genuinely useful in practice!"
"An enjoyable, practical course in which you can start working on your own project straight away."
“For anyone who wants to delve into project management, this course is a very good start.”
“A very useful course that takes you a step further as a project leader who is just starting out. Not least because of the trainer's hands-on experience.”
“A course that is readily applicable in practice, delivered in a highly engaging and interactive way. After 3 days the participant has a number of tools they can put to use straight away.”
“The course is the perfect combination of theory and practice. Usable theory is applied to practice straight away and the approach to a project becomes clear from A to Z. This course is ideal for anyone who could use more structure in tackling projects.”
“This course has given me an enormous number of tools that I can use during my projects. I now look forward to coming projects with confidence.”
“A good and above all practical course for getting to know project management, or simply for refreshing your knowledge of working on a project basis.”
“I found it a practical course and I was able to translate the content to my own situation, which made it visual for me.”
“Professional, knowledgeable, with an eye not only for the course content but also for what is going on within the organisation concerned.”
"A complete and compact training course in project management from an experienced trainer. The knowledge is directly applicable and not dependent on any particular methodology. Highly recommended as an introductory course in this field!"
