FAQs

Should I do Introduction to Project Management, or Project Management Essentials?

Choose Introduction to Project Management if you are new to projects; choose Project Management Essentials if you already work on projects and want more depth and structure.

Both courses are delivered by Knowledge Train as live, instructor-led online workshops with no prerequisites and no formal exam. The key differences come down to your current experience and what you need to walk away with.

Introduction to Project Management – one day

  • Best for people who are completely new to project work, or who contribute to projects occasionally and want a clear grounding in the basics.
  • Covers the project life cycle, common terminology, simple planning tools such as work breakdown structures and Gantt charts, and an introduction to risk and stakeholder management.
  • A good first step if you are considering a longer, accredited qualification later.

Project Management Essentials – two days

  • Best for people who already manage or work on projects and want a more structured, practical approach to planning, control, and stakeholder communication.
  • Goes further into topics such as risk and change management, progress reporting, team leadership, and closing a project effectively.
  • Includes templates and techniques designed to be used immediately on live projects.

If you are unsure, the one-day Introduction to Project Management is a lower-commitment starting point. Project Management Essentials suits those who want to build confidence faster and leave with tools ready to apply the next day.
