With our expert guidance, hybrid learning model, and engaging curriculum, you'll acquire the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in your career.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike other courses that just focus on methodology, The Essential Project Manager shows you how to implement and use these techniques.  You will get hands-on learning, training and coaching from our industry expert who will hold your hand and guide you throughout the journey. 
Here’s how we are different:

  • Proper Planning: Set things up right

    Most PM courses don’t teach you how to implement the concepts they talk about. This is why most PMs fail because they can’t or don’t know how to effectively implement the learnings to their project or real life.

  • Soft Skills: Confidence and communication are key

    Learn how to communicate authentically and effectively with your team and stakeholders to get the results you need for your project.

  • Psychology: Influence and decision making

    It’s never the project itself that is hard - it’s the people that make projects complex and at times, difficult. Learn how to get your team members to keep their commitments and get all stakeholders to support and join your path.

  • The Value of a PM: Become essential

    The value of a regular PM vs an Essential PM is a game changer! We will teach you how to become a trusted, indispensable leader with our industry expertise and experience.

A Few Companies I Have Worked With Include…

There is a difference between being an average project manager and an essential one…

The difference in pay and value between an average project manager and an essential one can vary depending on several factors such as industry, location, years of experience, and company size. However, here are some general observations:

✔️ Higher pay: An essential PM may earn a higher salary compared to an average PM due to their increased skills, experience, and ability to deliver successful projects. This difference can range from 10% to 20% or more. Exceptional project managers are often compensated at a higher rate than average PMs due to their increased value to organisations.

✔️ Better project outcomes: Essential PMs are more likely to deliver successful projects on time, within budget, and with high-quality outcomes.

✔️ Increased job security: Essential PMs are often in high demand and can command better job security compared to average PMs.

✔️ Faster career progression: Essential PMs can progress faster in their careers, potentially reaching executive positions more quickly. An Essential PM is more likely to be in high demand and have better career opportunities, including promotions and executive level positions.

✔️ Increased value to stakeholders: Essential PMs can provide increased value to stakeholders, such as clients, team members, and senior management, by effectively leading and managing projects.

✔️ Value to the organisation: An essential PM brings significant value to the organization through their ability to lead complex projects, resolve project issues, and ensure project success. They can also positively impact team morale, stakeholder relationships, and overall project performance.

“As a non-Project Management professional, I was looking to transition into the field. The Essential Project Manager provided me with the foundation I needed to understand the complexities of Project Management and the hands-on experience to apply my skills in real-world scenarios. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to transition into Project Management.”

There is an incredible and timely need for essential project managers in today’s job market.

The impact of poorly trained PM’s cannot be understated:

  • Poor project performance: According to a PMI study, projects with poorly trained PMs are more likely to fail, exceed their budgets, and miss deadlines.

  • Increased risk: Poorly trained PMs are less likely to identify and mitigate project risks, leading to potential negative consequences.

  • Decreased team morale: Poor PM leadership and lack of management skills can negatively impact team motivation and cohesion.

  • Inefficient use of resources: Poorly trained PMs may not understand how to effectively allocate resources, leading to waste and inefficiencies.

  • Decreased customer satisfaction: Poor project delivery can result in unsatisfied customers, leading to reputational damage and loss of business.

  • Low adoption of best practices: Without proper training, PMs may not be aware of industry best practices and may not implement them in their projects.
