Advanced Project Management for Leaders
Leaders are responsible for achieving results in an increasingly complex and fast-changing world. Projects are critical to creating change in the organisation. Success depends on two key factors:
Process skills: preparation, planning and control of the project.
People skills: managing communication with sponsors, stakeholders, clients and team members, as well as influencing, negotiation and conflict management skills.
This Advanced Project Management training program will develop the tools and skills in both areas to lead critical projects successfully.

Project Management training testimonials
Gill was fabulous and very engaging, definitely recommend staff to undertake this course.
This course has made me reassess my management skills and style and provide a structure to improve and develop my skills. Justine was very professional, excellent communicator and structured the content in a meaningful and logistic format. Good balance of theory and practice.
Craig was very engaging and able to deliver the message clearly. Lots of self realisations I had not thought of – the course highlighted a lot of things for me. I found the informal discussions were very valuable, particularly when I could open up about some experiences and get advice.
Superb, entertaining and informative. Would recommend everyone at Versent to go through this training. Craig was very engaging and thought provoking. Some good models and strategies to try out in the real world.
David is a very good trainer. Program was very informative and extremely interesting. David has an extreme amount of knowledge – will look into further courses with him. Thank you.
David was engaging and had us involved, did not think for us, however made us think for ourselves. It is completely worth the money! Made us feel comfortable and shared so much knowledge.
Robin was knowledgeable, experienced and engaging. Great overview and helpful tools that I will be able to implement. The course was practical and made me think differently.
Thanks Robin for a very informative and practical day. I will definitely implement some of the learnings in my current project. Lots of great, practical tools and information.

Robin was really good at explaining all the terminology clearly and gave examples that helped me to understand better. This has helped me learn all the basics and the tools how to best tackle a project from start to finish.
As a project manager myself, the content was familiar but was still a good reminder of important tools and skills and provided good interaction with colleagues on the topic. John was an excellent facilitator – highly engaging and able to deliver the material in an easy format.

Everything was explained in detail and I liked the way Anita encouraged group discussion. I found the session very informative and some of the project management techniques very valuable. Fantastic session to learn the fundamentals of project management.
I enjoyed Craig’s delivery and demeanour. He customised the presentation/training to our unique situation. Great session. I enjoyed the smaller group.

Gained understanding and tools to manage projects as well as increase productivity in general. It was easy to follow and understand content. The day was interactive and the material very interesting.
The course gave me a good understanding of how to manage a project from start to finish. I have not taken part in project management but this course gave me the confidence to want to start managing projects. Robin was an excellent facilitator – dynamic + knowledgeable.
Great hands on knowledge which Robin used as examples for explanations. His knowledge came from experience, not a text book. It was great that the program was not set in concrete and could be structured around the participant’s needs.
Robin is highly approachable and engaging in his presentation style and he presented his information clearly. This was a great opportunity to not only reinforce my existing knowledge but to enhance my skill set to be better equipped to tackle the project management required in my role.

Very thorough workshop. Robin was very good and knows his stuff. Robin really knew what he was talking about and was very engaging and confident in delivering the content of the course.
The course was very thorough and covered exactly what I requested through the pre-course survey. I liked that there was theory, examples, exercises, text etc but also focussed on following initiative and not on complicating matters.
I’m excited to go back to the workforce and start using some of the tools that I’ve been give. The course was a good refresher and very practical. It’s reinspired my interest in project management. Robin provided good examples/scenarios throughout the day and lots of great little tips. I will be sending staff through this course before they embark on any major project.
Loved the course Project Management Essentials. Would surely recommend it to anyone who needs it. Robin has been excellent and helped clear the doubts that arose during the course. The course gives a lot of insights into Project Management. I learnt a lot of things I can improve on.
Robin is a great facilitator, rich in experience. Very good first step into PM world for me. Most of the topics are known already, but I got some useful best practices and acknowledgement. Very useful new findings! Especially the electives after 4pm.
Great tips to help with current job. Tailored well to needs of the group. Feel more aware about how projects run start to finish.
Class delivered in an interactive and engaging way. Based on concrete examples which makes it easy to understand and retain.
Robin provided a good overview, practical tips and hints. I feel that my confidence in managing a project has increased and the aura around “project management” has been demystified.
I think the best aspect of this course was that we were able to apply the techniques to projects we were all working on. It's a lot easier to understand and put things into practice when it can be used in a practical sense. Gill was really keen to help us all and anything that we need moving forward.
The course was delivered extremely well and the supporting materials were great takeaways. I really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone.
The facilitator was very flexible to our needs as a group. The content covered was specific to our needs and this ensured engagement throughout. The different models such as RACI will definitely assist moving forward. I also enjoyed applying current situations and projects to the models that were being discussed as this provided further clarity. Great course I as can apply to my role immediately.
