“In the past decade, the project management profession has grown in scope, importance and recognition. Organisations are coming to realise that much of their success lies in their ability to turn vision into reality through skilful management of projects” (Project Management Institute)

At Fistral, we run our flagship course, Project Management in the Real World, for major companies and universities all over the world with great success.

We believe in teaching learnable techniques that can be used to plan and manage successful projects regardless of scale or area. Our courses mix theory and practical sessions (both individual and group-based) to enable delegates to get the most out of the event. Based on our feedback questionnaires, we scored 4.64 out of 5 (5 being excellent) during events held during Jan-Dec 2011.

Delegates on our courses testify that they demonstrate increased effectiveness and efficiency immediately in their current role in addition to the improved morale and self-confidence gained from professional training, whilst employers comment on the work-based, interprofessional approach to the training which delivers tangible improvements in the workplace.

PostGrads & PostDocs

Research is a very specific type of project but the same techniques apply nonetheless. As well as being a very valuable transferable skill, project management actually enables the PostGrad or PostDoc to confidently achieve a successful research project.

In addition, our project management techniques and skills are recognised within subdomains of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF) by many of our customers.
