- Program Outline
This program is ideal for technology-based professionals such as engineers who have or want project management roles and responsibilities at best practice levels. Many people today recognise their organisation's complex infrastructure and technology-based projects have social, environmental and economic impacts - they affect the triple bottom line. They also realise that they need the skills to manage multiple projects to achieve organisational goals; they need to understand the context of projects and follow a clear project model. If you and your organisation have to achieve ambitious business objectives that require complex and technology-based initiatives, the ECIC Project Management suite of programs will help achieve them.
Our Project Management programs guide you through the leading-edge project management concepts, methodologies and tools. We have a strong emphasis on holistic and systems-based project management methods, combined with the practical application of concepts, techniques and tools.
