The Management Skills Centre is a specialist training provider in project management. It is committed to help organisations and individuals:

• Achieve best performance from their project management, and
• Adhere to the professional standards adopted by the Association for Project Management (APM)

Two types of course are provided:-

1.  Those that lead to the highly-regarded APM qualifications and to APM Professional Membership - this has been recommended by the UK Government for project managers working in Central Government organisations.  So we currently offer courses (including examinations) for the:-

• APM Introductory Certificate (IC) in Project Management - two days. 

• APM APMP foundation-level qualification - five days or three-day version for current PRINCE2® Registered Practitioners that recognises prior learning from PRINCE2.         

2.  One-day courses that complement the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner qualifications They cover those aspects of project management largely omitted from PRINCE2. We currently offer courses on the following topics:- 

• People Skills - Motivation and Leadership, Teamwork, Negotiation and Conflict Management, Competences of an excellent Project Manager
• Tools and Techniques - Scope Management, Scheduling, Resource Management, Budgeting and Cost Management, Earned Value Management.
• Introductory course that emphasises those aspects of project management omitted by PRINCE2.

All these courses are offered in an open version at sites in the South-East of England;  they may also be booked by employers as in-house versions.

For a discussion of how PRINCE2 qualifications relate to those of APM, see FAQs and the January 2010 White Paper by Graham Williams entitled "APMP for PRINCE2 Practitioners" - it is on the OGC Best Management Practice website at http://www.best-management-practice.com/gempdf/APMP_for_PRINCE2_Practitioners_White_Paper.pdf

"For leadership positions emotional intelligence competencies account for up to 85% of what sets outstanding managers apart from the average" (Daniel Goleman 1998).  

So our professional courses that include people skills all seek to introduce competences that determine how we manage ourselves and our relationships.

PRINCE2® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce in the United Kingdom and other countries.
