The British Academy for Training and Development offers a professional training course in Advanced Project Management. Experienced project managers already know that efficient and technical execution of a schedule is not enough to make a project successful. This approach can result in "well-managed projects" with little or no benefit to the organization. Our advanced project management courses explore alternative approaches to effectively managing more challenging projects.

Advanced project management courses recognize that managing the political and technical content of a project is critical. Participants should have at least 5 years of project management experience. The approach chosen is to make participants think about how they would carry out their responsibilities as an experienced professional project managers. The goal of the Advanced Project Management course is to make individual project performance more predictable and to align management actions with project success.
