The Technical Project Management for Engineering Projects Training Course by The British Academy For Training and Development develops the specialist capabilities required to manage technically complex projects from initiation through delivery. The programme integrates Technical Project Management, engineering management, project planning, technical risk management, resource coordination, quality control, and performance monitoring to help professionals manage engineering requirements alongside project objectives.

Participants learn how to lead multidisciplinary technical teams, coordinate engineering activities, control scope, manage technical interfaces, and make evidence-based project decisions. The course also addresses technical leadership, software projects, systems engineering, and product development, providing a practical framework for managing technical complexity, innovation, dependencies, cost, schedule, quality, and project delivery. It is part of Project Management Courses Training Courses under the Management category.
