Course Details:
The Basics Of Project Management TrainingProject managers wear more hats than anyone. Whether the job is simple (streamlining an internal process, for example) or complex (whisking a new product to market) the current thinking says "assign it to a project team and consider it done"...but organizations are also finding that as the number of projects proliferates, the pool of capable people to manage them gets smaller.
The intent of this course is to provide organizations with more of their own trained people who can step comfortably into the demanding role of project manager.
Participants will learn how to plan, budget, and schedule all of the so-called "hard skills" critical to the success of any project. But they'll also discover another side to project management that's equally important. Namely, they'll get a thorough grounding in the behind-the-scenes skills it takes to champion a project successfully from start to finish. For instance:
- How to build a good working relationship between project manager and project sponsor
- How to recruit and hire the right people for a project team
- Tips on assessing risks and their consequences
- Ways to rebound quickly from setbacks
- Best methods to communicate progress
How We Present This MaterialThis training is presented in a 2-day format designed to allow the trainer to deliver a highly experiential program - including discussions, group exercises and hands-on practice to help drive home key project management skills.
Participants get their questions answered on the spot, receive "real-time" coaching, and benefit from the synergy of learning with their co-workers.
As A Result Of This Training- More projects will be completed on time, within budget and with desired results
- People assigned to lead projects will do so with greater confidence

- Your people will be freed of the "crisis" mind-set that results from poorly planned and managed projects

What You'll Learn:- What you must do first: determining the project's goals and constraints
- How to lay out the tasks to be done, and how to build the right team to accomplish them
- Ways to assemble and manage an "on-loan" project team - how to get other managers to lend you their best people, and how to lead team members not ordinarily under your supervision

- Ways to optimize communication and efficiency within a team
- Keeping a project on track when problems arise

Top FAQs
Benefits of an HR Generalist certification from HRTrainingCenter.com include:
Boosts Credibility / Signals Competence
Showing you've gone through structured training helps employers trust that you know not just HR theory but current practice, laws, and regulations. Especially useful if your HR experience is limited.
Bridges Knowledge Gaps
If you're moving from another function (or from being more junior in HR), the certification helps you get up to speed on everything in the generalist role - laws, best practices, tools. Gaining those "across-the-board" skills is valuable.
Helps With Job Qualifications / Getting Interviews
Some job descriptions list knowledge of HR laws, handling investigations, payroll, etc. Showing a certificate that covers those can help your resume pass screening. It may also help in promotions or lateral moves within your org if HR wants you to take on more responsibility.
Provides Continuing Education and Keeps You Updated
Laws and best HR practices change. A program that gives updated content, sample forms, current compliance obligations (FMLA, ADA, etc.), especially with free updates, helps you stay current and reduce risk of legal issues for your company.
Networking & Learning from Peers
Live or virtual seminars often provide a chance to interact with instructors and other HR professionals; this can help you see how others tackle similar problems, which gives you ideas for your own work.
Expands Career Path Options
Generalist roles are often stepping stones to more specialized or leadership roles (HR Manager, HR Business Partner, Employee Relations Specialist, Compensation & Benefits, etc.). Solid grounding in all areas helps you decide what specialty (if any) you might want and helps prepare you for more senior roles.
