Poor project management compromises the service your team is delivering.

Click here if this sounds like you.

You want to get into project management, but it just hasn't happened... yet.

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.

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

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."

Poor project management compromises the service your team is delivering.

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

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:

"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."

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?'

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.
