Featured Workshop
This page is an opportunity to tell you more about a particular EDI Endorsed Qualification or Human Performance Workshop.
There are numerous reasons for featuring a workshop which could include the subject area being topical, perhaps through a change in the law or an identified national skills gap; a new workshop having been developed; a recently accredited EDI Qualificaton; or just a workshop that we are particularly proud of, or about which our delegates are enthusiastic. The featured workshop currently is:

Target Audience
The Introductory Certificate to Successful Project Management - Level 2 has been designed specifically to provide the stepping stone required for employees who wish to take on more responsibility and ownership within a project in the future. The programme is particularly useful for organisations wishing to develop the success of their current and future project management activities. This programme is also ideal as a means of employers providing a structured succession plan for their future requirements of project management. No previous qualifications are required to gain access on to this workshop other than a desire to learn simple but effective project management techniques to develop a candidate’s career. A multiple choice paper has to be completed at the close of the programme so a good standard of reading and writing is essential.
Programme Aims
This Introductory Certificate to Successful Project Management - Level 2 aims to introduce candidates to the four phases of the project management life cycle using an interesting and engaging role play case study which will enable them to take greater ownership within projects they are involved in – either now or in the future. This programme will also provide candidates with a clear route for career progression into project management should they so desire. Success at this Level 2 Qualification - followed by six months in a project management role - will enable a candidate to gain access to our Level 3 Successful Project Management EDI Qualification in the future.
