You want to get into project management, but it just hasn't happened... yet.
Start your Journey to Becoming a Successful Project Manager, without waiting for other People to See your Potential
You know you want to be a project manager.
And you know you have the potential to be a good one... maybe a great project manager.
But nobody else believes you.
So, every day, opportunities seem to pass you by, while your colleagues get their chances.
It feels like you are treading water at best... and even getting swept backwards, maybe.
But there is a solution
I have had over 12 years as a successful project manager in business, and then another twelve years as a full time project management trainer, writer, and coach. I have found the best ways to teach project management. I have created a logical, easy to follow, step-by-step course.
This course will give you the basic practical skills you need to start managing a project tomorrow.
So now, you will be able to demonstrate that you are ready to get started. You will have the knowldege you need to show you are ready for those opportunities, and you'll be able to start to become the project manager you know you can be.
Below this, you can see the details of my Project Manager's Fast Start Program. This is a quick and practical course, available now, to give you fast introduction you need now.

"The unique thing about the training from OnlinePMCourses is that you can interact with your trainer. This isn’t a study-in-isolation type programme, although of course you can do that if it suits your learning style. Mike is committed to giving you the support you need to make the course a success, so he has included a comments section in every module of the course. Ask your question and he’ll get back to you.
The videos are very short and the content is structured in a logical way that enables you to dip into whatever you need advice on at the time (that goes for all the courses that have video).
I like how the content builds, and there are decent upgrade paths too, so if you want to take a more in depth course you aren’t financially worse off than if you had just chosen that one first."
... Elizabeth Harrin, Project Manager & Blogger

You need to take on a project that puts you outside your comfort zone.
Deliver your Project with Confidence, without that feeling that you are Out of Control and Uncertain what to do Next
You've been given responsibility for a project that will stretch you well beyond your experience and your comfort zone.
And you also know that you will be judged on your performance on this project.
Fouling up is not an option you relish.
But there is a solution
I have had over 12 years as a successful project manager in business, and then another twelve years as a full time project management trainer, writer, and coach. I have found the best ways to teach project management. I have created a logical, easy to follow, step-by-step course.
This course will give you the basic practical skills you need to start managing a project tomorrow.
So now, you will be able to start your project confidently, know how to set it up robustly, and move from stage to stage. You will feel in control of your project, and confident of delivering the successful results that everyone expects of you.
Below this, you can see the details of my Project Manager's Fast Start Program. This is a rapid, introductory program, that will give you the confidence to get started, and know what's coming next throughout your project.

"Mike covers all the key topics a project manager needs to know in his Skills Mastery Program and it's clear throughout the course that Mike not only understands the theory, but also what works practically and offers tips, tricks and pitfalls to watch, that only an experienced practitioner knows. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to grasp the key concepts of good project management."
... Chris O'Halloran, Project Manager & Agile Coach

Poor project management compromises the service your team is delivering.
Improve your Profit Margins, while Delighting your Customer, without the high Cost of Live Training and the Short-term Hit on your Staff's Availability
Your company's projects are running behind schedule.
Things are getting missed, your customers are getting annoyed, and your managers are overspending your budget.
Each time a project manager over-runs and disappoints one of your customers, you need to spend yet more to put things right.
But, more important, it is damaging your reputation.
But there is a solution
I have had over 12 years as a successful project manager in business, and then another twelve years as a full time project management trainer, writer, and coach. I have found the best ways to teach project management. I have created a logical, easy to follow, step-by-step course.
This course will give a rapid refresh of the practical skills you or your people need, to start managing projects differently.
So now, you will be able to give each of your project managers the training they need, at times that work for your business.
You can select the right level of course for each one, and upgrade the courses when you choose to.
You can keep a clear track of your spending, and you will get the training your business needs.
With trained project managers, you will quickly see real results:
on time delivery
on budget completion
delighted customers
Below this, you can see the details of my Project Manager's Fast Start Program. This is an introductory course, that makes a great refresher, or a starter for new project managers. It is available when your people need it, with customisable templates built in.
And, if you need to train three or more people, contact me for details of bulk licence discounts, and even customisation.

"This goes all the way through from being given a project to project closure. What’s more you will be able to do it with your own projects which is the key to the way Mike Clayton has put it together.

So, I say: 'Invest, invest invest!' You get nothing by not investing in yourself and the return on investment will be multiplied many times over."
... Ron Rosenhead, Chief Executive, Project Agency
What will you Get?
You will get a concise structured course to give you a strong introduction to the basics of Project Management:
Content equivalent to a 1-day live training workshop
Around two and a half hours of high quality video tuition
Audio podcast versions of all video lectures
Downloadable workbook, templates and bonus articles.
Over 25 bite-size videos to watch anywhere, anytime.
Average video length 6-10 minutes.
I have invested thousands of hours of learning, using and testing these ideas.
I have delivered thousands of hours of project management training.
Everything I have learned has contributed to this training.
Compare the costs
Live training costs from $250 - $750 per day. This program is the equivalent of two-days' classroom training.
A project coach or mentor will charge you from $150 to $700 per hour.
Book me for a day in the UK for up to $3,000. Yes, my clients do pay that.
... and what is the true cost of discovering all of this material by piecing together YouTube videos, blog posts and articles online, with conflicting terminology, different systems, and variable reliability?
A solid introduction to the Project Management skills you need

Should I go for this course, or the
Project Manager's Skills Mastery Program?


That's a great question.
First of all, both courses are designed for new project managers. So the question to ask yourself is 'how deep do you want to go?'
Are you a manager who wants to feel confident in taking on a small project?
Are you serious about succeeding in your first significant project?
If the answer is yes to both of these questions, you would be wise to consider this course: the Project Manager's Skills Mastery Program. It has over 50 videos: 5.5 hours of material.
If the answer is yes to the first question, but not to the second, then this shorter, introductory, Project Manager's Fast Start Program may well be the one for you. It has over 25 videos: 2.5 hours of material.
Why not compare the curriculum listings?

Make writing your book as simple as possible... almost like painting by numbers


You are closer to your first book than you think...
Do you need to write a non-fiction book to support your business, authority, eminence, or reputation?
Or are you just burning to get your ideas in print?
Either way, you are one of the vast number of people who wants to write their first book.
And the good news is that it has never been easier.
It's not just the revolution in publishing and technology that have transformed your ability to get your thinking out to a readership. The tools are now easily and cheaply available to make the writing process quicker and easier too.

Hi, I'm Dr Mike Clayton
I have written 14 books that have been published by international mainstream publishers like Macmillan, Pearson, and Wiley. My books have been translated into 11 additional languages and are licensed all over the world. I've also written ebooks to commission and self-published my own ebooks too.
So, I do know what I am doing, and I have a method that makes it easy.
It's called the Flat Plan Method and in this course I'll share it with you.
It isn't the only way to write a book. And it won't suit everyone. But I am sure that, if you follow it, you'll find writing your first non-fiction book easier than you ever thought.
And, if you have any questions along the way... Just ask.
Use the comments facility for Q&A with me about anything in the videos - or anything you think I missed out!
So, why not get started?

A Practical Introduction to Change Management for Project Managers and Change Leaders


Change is an inevitable part of Project life
And, as a Project Manager, you'll soon be called upon to help lead it.
But, we often fear change. This leads to resistance.
So, managing and leading change is a challenging role. It will take you outside of your comfort zone and beyond your existing management and supervision tool-set.
But change is predictable
You can anticipate how people will respond, and what you need to do to engage them positively. You can plan, prepare, and handle the resistance that will certainly come.
To do that, you need practical tools and models
And this course will give you them.
More than that, you'll learn:
how the need for change arises,
how to communicate it, and
the way to lead people through it.
Here are the main topics you'll cover:
The Cycle of Change
Barriers to Change
The first reason why people resist change
Tools for change leaders
Stakeholder analysis
How people respond to change: the change curve
The impact of change on operational performance: the Satir Curve
The three phases of a change program: the Lewin Model
The Onion Model of resistance to change
How to win over resisters
Ongoing Project: Change Management Case Study
Throughout the course, you will have short exercises to do, that use the skills we'll cover. They are based on a real organizational change project. Other students and your tutor will support you, endorse your successes, and help you with your questions.
Prior Experience
The only prior experience you need is working life. But, if you have management or project management experience, you'll find it even easier!
Your Tutor
Your tutor is Dr. Mike Clayton. As a senior project, program and change manager at international consulting firm, Deloitte, Mike led large and complex change projects for his clients.
Now, as a trainer and facilitator, he has been applying what he learned and teaching it to others. This course represents 15 years' experience of what tools students find most helpful, and 25 years experience in business, managing change, large and small.

A Practical Introduction to Conflict Management for Project Managers


Conflict is an inevitable part of working life. And it's not always bad.
But, often, it is. It can be stressful, harm productivity, spoil working relationships, and lead to damaging behaviors.
And, if you have any level of responsibility as a team leader, supervisor, or manager, fixing it may well be down to you.
So you need the tools to deal with conflict at work.
And this course will give you them.
More than that, you'll learn how and why conflict arises, and how to minimize it before it takes hold.
Here are the main topics you'll cover:
The sources of conflict
How to listen
The effect of personalities on conflict
The ways people resist imposed ideas
The signs and stages of conflict escalation
The steps for de-escalating conflict
Strategies for resolving conflict
Five ways to handle conflict
How to recover a broken (workplace) relationship
Ongoing Project: Your Conflict Log
During the course, your project will be to keep and share aspects of your Conflict Log. You will create a record of your observations, successes, and struggles. Other students and your tutor will support you, endorse your successes, and help you with your questions.
Prior Experience
The only prior experience you need is daily life. If you’ve been a hermit or in long-term peaceful coexistence with all your fellow human beings, you won’t need this course.
However, the people who may find this most valuable are those who experience conflict in the workplace, and especially those in supervisory or management roles.
Your Tutor
Your tutor is Dr. Mike Clayton. As a senior manager at international consulting firm, Deloitte, Mike had to deal with conflict among staff, and with clients, and even among clients. But more important, as a senior representative of his firm and a program leader, he needed to avoid escalation of conflict.
Now, as a trainer and facilitator, he has been applying what he learned and teaching it to others. This course represents 15 years' experience of what tools students find most helpful, and 25 years experience in business, managing conflicts large and small.
We have you covered
However, it's not all been plain sailing. Three times in 25 years, Mike has had to use his own 'Breakdown Routine' to the breakdown of a professional relationship. Three times it worked. And managers and leaders he has coached have used it with equal success.
So, you see, we have you covered. This course will give you the tools to:
Prevent conflict
Reduce and reverse its escalation
Handle full blown conflict
and... recover from the effects of a conflict-induced relationship breakdown.

A Personal Message from the Course Tutor, Mike

This course came about when a client booked me for a conference for senior managers in professional services firms.
These high-powered people attend a lot of meetings and need to make their contributions to those meetings count. This is, after all, were they give the advice they are paid for, or make the sales that bring in new work.
But this time, as well as preparing carefully for the conference, I decided to record the sound, and develop a unique set of visuals to illustrate the ideas in a way that simply isn't possible in the live environment.
So, I hope you will enjoy and benefit from this innovative course, that combines the spontaneity of a live seminar, with the careful preparation of an online course - and this is my 10th course for Udemy.

The only prior experience you need is attending business meetings in your working life.

Advanced Meeting Skills for Project Managers and Professionals who need to Achieve Business Outcomes

How to Get the Most from Your Meetings

Do you need more time in your life to do the things you want?


This course includes all you need to take back control of your life. This means that you can start to say Yes to the right things and No to the rest. And that means more time for what matters and less stress from what doesn't.
Do you need more time in your life to do the things you want?
I am willing to bet that time management is not giving you enough of an answer.
Focusing on doing things effectively, just means you get more things done. Learning what to say Yes to and what to say No to, means getting the right things done and achieving more... by doing less.
But do you find the tiny little word 'No' alarmingly difficult to say. If you worry that it sounds negative, that people won't like you, that you'll miss an opportunity, or that something will go wrong if you say No, then you need this course.
Because these fears mean that you are no longer in control of your life.
Learn when to say No and how to say No.
This course is delivered entirely as high quality videos delivered by author and professional speaker, Dr Mike Clayton. You will get unlimited lifetime access to 27 videos with nearly three-hours of high quality content. And I'll be adding more bonus videos from time to time too - which will appear, at no extra cost, in your course library.



Your 30-Day Guarantee
I am so confident that this course will change your life that I offer you an unconditional, no questions asked, full 30 day money-back-in-full guarantee.
Please compare this course...
... with other courses promising to teach you how to say No. I think you will find far more breadth, depth, and psychological rigour in this course. And if you enroll and you don't agree: there's always my 30-Day Guarantee.

You should say 'yes' to this course
Like many people, I like being helpful. So my instinctive reply is usually 'yes' - even when that isn't the best answer. This course was a revelation to me. It's thorough, backed by research, explores why we say 'yes' when we should say 'no', and clearly explains how we can change that when it's right to do so. Halfway through the course, a charity collector rang the doorbell, asking me to donate £8.50 per month to a worthy cause. I used all the techniques to say a nice 'no' because I already support other charities. Instead of feeling pressured, we had a lovely chat about the challenges of doorstep fundraising!

Stress Management

This course includes all you need to take back control of your life. This means that you can start to say Yes to the right things and No to the rest. And that means more time for what matters and less stress from what doesn't.

Take Back Control of Your Life: When and How to Say No

You can't make more time... But you can make better use of the time you have. Let top expert Mike Clayton show you how.


Nobody has enough time in the busy-busy, 24-hour, non-stop world of Twitter, smartphones, and latte in a cardboard cup.
Yet you want to do more, you want to achieve better things, you want to get more out of the time you have: you wish there were more hours in the day.
Practical Time Management cannot give you more time, but it sure can show you how to use the time you have to the greatest effect!
It shows you how to make the most of your time by avoiding the time-wasting and morale sapping habits that rob you of your most valuable asset... time.
You will learn how to prioritise your time effectively, and how to use a powerful four-step process that gets things done.
It will arm you with a host of tools and techniques from the established expert on getting things done – the author of the best-selling Brilliant Time Management.
Whatever you do in life, whatever you hope to achieve, Brilliant Time Management will help you get it done - with time to spare.
You will learn how to set yourself up to succeed, manage the stresses of a busy diary and find that productive space to think clearly and do quality work.
It will show you how to make focused use of your day and how to deal with the interruptions that rob you of productive time.
It will give you the low-down on time management, explaining clearly the essential roles of goal setting, scheduling, delegation and personal motivation.
You will learn about the multi-tasking fallacy and how the Elephant and the Octopus have different solutions to awesome productivity.
Practical Time Management is not about fancy systems and sophisticated technology: it is about the reality of how to be productive in a busy life.

How much you get done really depends on you. Practical Time Management highlights the unhelpful habits you have got into and how they waste the most precious commodity you have.

If you want to make the most of your time, then this could well be the most valuable three hours ever.

It is based on Mike's best selling three-hour live seminar and contains nearly two and a half hours of video, and a wealth of templates for you to download and adapt to your work.

• Apply Mike Clayton's powerful OATS principle to gain control of your working day
• Schedule activities into your day for maximum productivity and minimum work left over at the end of the day
• Set goals so that you really do achieve them

• Create real extra time in your day by delegating effectively
• Become a master of time estimation
• Schedule your time to produce better work and get more done
• Say "NO" with confidence, to keep in control of your time and, ultimately, to increase the respect people have for you

<h2>Agile PM vs. Waterfall PM (Virtual)</h2> <p>The concept of Agile project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques that are based on enabling project teams to deliver products to a predetermined and agreed timeline.

<h2>Recovering Troubled Projects: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Despite our best intentions, many of the projects that organizations undertake either don't achieve their intended business results or end in complete failure. Most seasoned project managers have had their share of experiences with difficult or troubled projects and unless they are careful, they will encounter more.</p>
 <p>This workshop does not focus on 'failed' projects but rather on those projects which without appropriate intervention would be headed for failure. Failed projects are those beyond help and which should be terminated. Here we focus on projects that are salvageable. It is an exercise-driven, no-nonsense, professional practice-focused workshop positioning the participant to immediately apply the tools and lessons learned in the classroom.</p>
 <p>The workshop employs the use of both illustrative and practical/working case studies. Illustrative case studies will examine insights from real-world troubled projects. Participants will be asked to bring descriptions of their own examples of troubled projects on which they're currently working or on which they have worked in the past. A number of these will be used as the basis for the practical/working case studies.</p>

<h2>Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects: On-Demand</h2>
<p>The concept of Agile project management refers to an iterative, incremental approach to managing the design and development of a product, service or result. The goal of this approach is to use it to manage the project in a way that is very flexible and interactive with the customer and/or end user, resulting in added value to the business.</p>
<p>The concept of Waterfall project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques. A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) details 5 process groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. As per the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition, there are 49 processes entailed in these 5 process groups, which are focused on enabling project teams to deliver products to a pre-determined and agreed requirements/ specification.</p>
<p>The selection of the most appropriate project management approach has, historically, been a choice of 'either/or' when it comes to these two approaches. It is now becoming clear that for many projects, the selection of a single project management approach does not satisfy the efficiency of the project team nor does it optimize the return on investment for the sponsoring organization. A different strategy is needed.</p>
<p>"Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects" presents an approach to project management which capitalizes on the most appropriate elements of each approach, tailored to the specific project being undertaken. In this course, the Waterfall approach will be based on the PMBOK® Guide (predictive life-cycle). Each approach will be presented to highlight its particular strategy and strengths. The course will also propose project scenarios that require the project team to use a hybrid method which brings together aspects of both approaches.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
<p>You'll learn how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify the strengths that the Waterfall approach brings to project work</li>
<li>Identify the strengths that the Agile approach brings to project work</li>
<li>Exploit the strengths of each method by combining their practices and protocols to maximize the potential for return on investment</li>

As per the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition, there are 49 processes entailed in these 5 process groups, which are focused on enabling project teams to deliver products to a pre-determined and agreed requirements/ specification.
The selection of the most appropriate project management approach has, historically, been a choice of 'either/or' when it comes to these two approaches. It is now becoming clear that for many projects, the selection of a single project management approach does not satisfy the efficiency of the project team nor does it optimize the return on investment for the sponsoring organization. A different strategy is needed.
"Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects" presents an approach to project management which capitalizes on the most appropriate elements of each approach, tailored to the specific project being undertaken. In this course, the Waterfall approach will be based on the PMBOK® Guide (predictive life-cycle). Each approach will be presented to highlight its particular strategy and strengths. The course will also propose project scenarios that require the project team to use a hybrid method which brings together aspects of both approaches.
