Course Description
This Aviation Project Management course follows the PMI structure complemented with some case studies taken from contemporary aviation developments. Project Management is concerned with the business of organising, planning, scheduling and controlling all the complex interrelated activities associated with a project. This course provides a framework as well as a description of the special processes used by organisations for achieving specific project objectives or outcomes. Effective outcomes are achieved through the prudent management of resources such as cost, time, materials and manpower throughout the lifecycle of a project. The lifecycle typically includes identification and initiation through to implementation and completion.
