The three-day Project Management course. You work on your own project and practise the conversation with the client.
EUR 1875,- excl. VAT
View the Project Management course All Project Management courses →A project lands on your desk. Introducing a new system, organising a move, putting on an event. You start off enthusiastically, and a few months later it turns out the client had something else in mind, that all sorts of things have been added along the way and that the deadline can no longer be met. That is rarely down to hard work. It is almost always down to what was not put on paper in the first few weeks.
This free online course is the starter for our full Project management. In four chapters you will learn when a job is a project and when it is not, how to turn a vague wish into a clearly defined assignment with a delimited scope, how to break a project into phases and put a schedule underneath it with work packages and a critical path, and how to map out risks before they become problems. Each chapter ends with a short knowledge check, so you notice straight away whether it is sticking.
The full course goes on to cover the project organisation and the RACI matrix, controlling and steering with TGKIO, budget and additional work, leading people who do not report to you, working together in a project team, communicating with stakeholders and dealing with resistance, and completing, evaluating and embedding your project. Would you like to cover those topics with an experienced trainer present, and with your own project on the table? Then take a look at the Project Management course.

I found the 'Interview Techniques' course to be good. Nothing to fault. It was also good that Job called beforehand for a short preliminary discussion. You don't see that very often. A very worthwhile course. It also had a strong element of repetition. Plenty of variety, including between theory and practice. Learned a lot, and applied it straight away during the course. And I think these learnings will also help me further when conducting interviews.

We took the Outlook, Teams and OneNote course with Roy Nieuwenhuijzen. Good content, and a few days before the course he got in touch with me (coordinator of the course, head of the secretariat). Pleasant that you can fill in the day itself as needed. The booklet for reference is rather dated, but apparently there is little up-to-date material to be found.

In May 2024 I took the WordPress course. As an IT enthusiast with broad but not necessarily deep knowledge, I wanted to know more about WordPress. How do you install everything and how do you start building a website. This course is extremely well suited to that. From the outset you learn in 3 days how to start a website and what to look out for. I now have a solid basis for getting to work with WordPress and I know my way around the various options. The course is recommended for anyone who wants to learn in three days what WordPress can do and how to apply it.
