Course Overview

The PMBlend workshop is designed to provide best practice project management skills and knowledge from the PMBOK^® Guide to practicing PRINCE2™ Practitioner-qualified project managers. 

The course provides participants with the sound theoretical and practical knowledge of project management principles and processes and the application of tools, techniques and methods crucial to a successful project. 

Participants will gain a sound understanding of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) that underpins AS ISO 10006:2004, and complements PRrojects IN a Controlled Environment (PRINCE2™).

The workshop fulfils the requirements for BSB51407 Diploma of Project Management (AQF Level 5).

This course will also position you (no further formal training will be required) to pursue certification by the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) as a Certified Practising Project Manager (CPPM, formerly called “Registered Project Manager”) and provide you with the basic knowledge to prepare to sit for the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP^®) examination.  Tanner James offers support services to help you prepare for these qualifications.

This course is offered publicly or can be delivered in-house within your organisation, with flexible timetables that can be varied to suit your availability. It is focused on pragmatic application within the workplace and is run by appropriately qualified project management professionals.

Case Studies and Exercises

Learning Approach

This is an adult learning program for experienced PRINCE2™ project managers.  The program maximises the opportunities for self-directed learning and action research to develop participants’ knowledge and skills while achieving the learning outcomes of the program.

The program comprises two days of face-to-face training based around content not covered by the PRINCE2™ syllabus, coupled with a post-course work-based assessment to provide the opportunity to demonstrate appropriate experience and knowledge to obtain a full diploma qualification.

The assessment process is designed to be completed within three months of workshop completion.
