The program is designed for the individual to achieve their own goals in Project Management whether as a:

  • Technical Specialist with a sound understanding of Project Management
  • A Feasibility, Design, Construction or Commissioning Manager using the full suite of Project Management skills

Our Learning

Candidates on the program will be assisted on their Learning journey by a personally tailored combination of:

  • Action learning program using a project of their choice
  • Lectures on the nine elements of Project Management
  • Regular Counselling, Tutoring, Coaching or Mentoring support throughout the program

The AQUA difference

All our support people have relevant professional experience and as line managers have practically and successfully developed employees using a combination of Counselling, Tutoring, Coaching and Mentoring approaches.  From our experiences we have developed the AQUA Model.  All AQUA support people use this model when supporting each candidate.  Hence we offer the differences of the individual Counsellors, Tutors, Coaches or Mentors, as well as the consistency of using a common model and language with all the candidates.  This ensures a reliable quality of support, independent of the individual Counsellor, Tutor, Coach or Mentor chosen or available.

Duration:

6-9 months. This program ensures new project managers, team leaders are effective as quickly as possible.
