Our training is run with the purposes of learning the theory, preparing you for the exam, and applying in the real world. The sessions are a mixture of theory and discussion and practical group-based learning involving Post-it notes, markers, and flip chart paper.

Our trainers apply practical examples from their decades of experience as hands-on project, programme and portfolio Managers and adjust the course delivery to meet the needs of the attendees.

  • Those involved in the governance of Portfolios
  • Portfolio Office staff
