Course Overview

Make yourself a valuable asset to your organisation and ensure you increase profitability! Everyone is involved in projects but not everyone has project management training! The key to successful project management however involves more than just knowledge of project management tools and techniques.

You must know which tool is most appropriate for the situation. You must be able to identify and assess the project management strategy that will deliver the results you are seeking. Most importantly, you must be able to apply your knowledge to real life, ever changing project environments.

In response to numerous requests, IIR Middle East has specifically developed this innovative training course, Practical Project Management, in association with Professor Alan Patching, a world leader in project management. Alan’s energetic and entertaining training style will ensure you find these five days a truly beneficial and enjoyable learning experience.

This course has been designed for those seeking to become effective project managers and for project managers who wish to further hone their project management skills. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from an internationally recognised leader in the project management field and a proven expert in his own right. There really is no better way to gain project management skills than under the guidance and instruction of an expert project director! More than skills, you will learn to recognise the pitfalls and obstacles involved in project management and learn how to deal with them. You will also learn how to overcome mistakes, rising costs and time overruns. You will practice your project leadership skills and find the management approach that works best for you!

Take the project management challenge and become a better project manager! Alan and I look forward to welcoming you to this one of a kind learning experience.

Visit Dubai This Summer! Dubai is an Emirate of captivating contrasts. From the timeless tranquillity of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. In a single day, you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts, and from ancient houses with windtowers to ultra-modern shopping malls. The Emirate is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era. These contrasts give Dubai its unique flavour and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia. Since earliest times, Dubai has been a meeting place, bringing together the Bedouin of the desert interior with the pearl-diver, the merchant of the city with the sea-going fisherman. Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) is an annual festival focusing on providing fun, knowledge and entertainment through a medley of events that puts the ‘pep’ back into summer for both adults and children. Each week during June to August, a series of weekly themed surprises unfold. Shopping malls become entertainment hubs providing shows and hosting special activities based on the different surprises. Combine business with leisure this summer! Enjoy discounted hotel packages and treat the family to a fun-filled holiday!
