Customization Approach / Methodology
“Course was an eye-opener to an effective tool for my business. Well-led and solicited participation. Liked how the course was tailored to our business.”

We believe that the learning experience is enhanced significantly if the course content is customized to meet the needs of the target audience - we tailor our English and French courseware and training delivery to meet your specific requirements.
Unlike most companies that deliver project management training, we modify course content and create new case studies based on each client's needs assessment, project management framework, and governance structure. As a result, we have presented the core Comprehensive Introduction to Project Management Course in two, three, four and five-day versions using one of six distinct case studies to meet specific client requirements.
In addition, we promptly update all of our courseware to reflect the latest edition of the PMBOK® Guide and the most recent feedback from course evaluations. With our continuous improvement philosophy, no two courses that we have delivered have been the same.
To meet your specific requirements, our approach to tailoring the training will include the completion of a training needs assessment and subsequent customization of the appropriate course theory and case study/exercises for your leadership and project management teams.
Training Needs Assessment
The training needs assessment forms the core of our customization. The assessment is undertaken with an analysis to determine the specific requirements for the training. We achieve this by meeting with the client and appropriate managers within the organization to gain an appreciation of the types and scope of projects conducted. We then gather background information such as current project plans, processes, tools and techniques being used routinely, as well as the governance structures for these projects. We then define the scope of the requirement and confirm our assessment with the client. Using the training needs assessment outputs, the course content would be developed or our existing course offerings would be modified as discussed and agreed.
Our courses and seminars remain up-to-date with the latest innovations; our instructors are practicing project managers today and are leading training delivery tomorrow.
