You can start the process of
choosing a project management training course by first looking at the problems
you are facing today.
For example,
perhaps you are having stakeholder issues, or maybe gathering requirements
effectively is your current challenge.
Communications
issues on your project may also be the ‘issue of the.
Perhaps at this point in your career you
would like to enhance your management skills, or maybe you simply want to learn
a project management methodology or framework or enhance your credentials by earning
a project management certification.
With a clear idea of your
burning issues in mind, you will want to consider your preferred method of delivery
for your project management training course.
These typically include classroom training, audio training, and online
project management training.
Classroom training has the
advantage that you are away from daily distractions and can give undivided
attention to your project management training course.
There also is great value in being in the
same room with instructor and students, which is helping for learning as well
as networking.
However, the benefits
come at a price as classroom training is expensive, often involves travel, involves
the opportunity cost of missing work time, and needs to be scheduled.
An audio project management
training course may be a convenient option, but the visual learning aspect may
be missing.
Even so, some PDA-based
audio programs are appearing with video, which is helpful, but make sure that
the audio is effective without the video.
This training is a great supplement to other learning methods.
Online project management training
courses include both pure online training as well as instructor assisted
training.
With pure online training, on
the other hand, the course is self-contained and is available 24x7, and you can
easily skip over topics of little interest and focus more on those of keen
interest.
Often for the pure online
training a mentor or online help is available for assistance.
With an instructor assisted online project
management training course, you take a live course over the internet, and the
instructor leads and facilitates.
You
may also be able to interact with the instructor and students during the
class.
The topic for any project
management training course can run the gamut in the wide open field of project
management.
For example, you might need
to learn about a project management tool, and Microsoft Project training might
be a good choice.
Maybe you are in a
technical role and would like to learn about transitioning from a technical
function to project management.
Perhaps
you are in the Information Technology field and an IT project management
training course would be a great choice. Many other great project management topics
abound in soft skills areas like leadership, management, and communication.
In summary, in choosing any project management training course it is best to choose a topic immediate interest - something for which you have a current burning desire or need and that you will be able to apply right away. Pick your preferred method of delivery, whether classroom, online, audio, self-paced, or other, and select and take your project management training course as soon as possible. When the time comes, take the training at your own pace, but make sure you can give it your full attention. Most importantly, apply what you have learned in your project management training course right away and make it your own!
