    Is there a test to pass at the end of the course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills training course with no test to pass and no accrediting body. Learning is reinforced through lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on exercises and retrospective sessions rather than a formal assessment.

    Is this a certification course?

Together they span the full lifecycle from initiation and planning through execution, monitoring and control, to closure.

    Will I learn Agile as well as traditional project management?

    Yes. Alongside predictive, plan-based methods you get a working overview of Agile, including Agile release planning and the Scrum process in brief, plus an introduction to business-analysis approaches, so you understand when to use each.

    Are there hands-on exercises or is it all theory?

    The training blends lectures and discussions with hands-on exercises and retrospective sessions. This practical focus helps you apply scope, schedule, cost, risk and stakeholder techniques to real project situations, not just learn them in theory.

    Can a complete beginner follow the material?

    Yes. The course starts from first principles and needs no prior experience, so beginners can follow it comfortably. Experienced professionals also use it to refresh their fundamentals before moving into larger project roles.

    What materials are provided with the course?
