What do you think of this course for project management?

[CalvinHobbes]

Might do online version but thinking it's probably covered here at more depth. Anyone done it?

Can't speak for that one but we went on one run by Potton the timber frame people. It was free! We are doing a traditional build but the principles of project management are the same for both. We found it very helpful. We have, since, gone on to project manage our new build bungalow.

I went on a project management course many years ago (different industry) and found it fascinating and became a project manager, I am sure it helped my build.

I did a PM course at university. The lecturer seemed to be only half a page I front, and relied on us, older students to fill in gaps.

Only new thing I learnt was not to use MS Project.

I am 3 hours in to the 7 ish hour course, it's been well worth it for what I have already gleaned - admittedly because I am totally green about all of it. 85 reduced to 68 I think until tomorrow (Tues) with the promo code.

Can you copy and save all the material, then we can all have a go.

Yikes, think they might be rather mad at me for that and I would be thrown off the course before the big day in April.! I can however give an outline of it  and stuff they point you to that are available. To be frank the first thing is I got an understanding of the procedure that is followed by for example the architects. You all probably know it but this for example...
