! PM² Training & Certification
Training on the PM² Methodology and PM² Essentials Exam Voucher
European Academy as an Accredited Training Provider (ATP) for the PM² Alliance, has secured the ability to offer exam vouchers for the PM² Certification tests.
To celebrate this, we offer to everyone completing any of our PM² courses between 1st of June and 30 of December 2019, a complimentary exam voucher for the PM² Essentials Certification. (Participants will also continue receiving the Certification of training completion)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
A planned and controlled approach to project risks is an imperative and indispensable step within project management. Developing skills, knowledge and organisational processes in this area will lead to a significant return on investment (ROI) for any organisation that runs projects either internally or for the benefit of their customers.
Additionally, any entity (organization or consortium) that exhibits a maturity level in risk management, increases the chances of being selected for funding, under the various EU funding schemes. The reason is that proper risk management acts as an alleviator for the risk averse public sector# (including the various EU bodies).
IMPORTANT COURSE NOTES
i. Before the training, all participants will be called to complete a short survey where an initial skills mapping will be performed. The outputs of the above survey will be used for the appropriate tailoring and customization of the course.
ii. The residential course will be proceeded by a preparatory e-learning stage, where participants will receive key information about the PM2 methodology. The e-learning module will be available two weeks prior to the residential course.
iii. All activities throughout the residential training will be performed in groups of 4-5 people using actual projects that the respective entities perform within their organizations. An additional generic scenario will also be available, for those wishing to use it.
iv. Upon completion of the residential course, and for a period of one month, an asynchronous e-support will be established, that will allow course participants to submit potential questions relevant to the contents of the course delivered, and receive the respective answers.
