Overview

This training course, delivered by Glass Rock, is designed to give participants a solid foundation in the concepts, tools and techniques of formal project management. While introductory in nature, the concepts and methods learned are intended to be immediately usable in the workplace.

    GLASS ROCK CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

    “Just wanted to thank you again for an interesting day yesterday.  I wasn’t looking forward to it as I assumed it would be the usual dry and dusty approach of legal jargon, documentation and dotting the i’s, and crossing the t’s.  Instead it was something different and more aligned with what vendor management can be (and covering areas Boral ICT are seriously challenged with at the moment).”
