Course overview

The Project Management Distance Learning Programme (PMDL) is an industry inspired programme that uses a Practice Based Learning approach to project management development. The programme is delivered through a fully distance-learning approach. The PMDL differs from other courses in that, rather than simply acquiring new knowledge and ideas, delegates are expected to adopt a reflective practice approach so that their learning can inform and be informed by their practises of managing projects in the workplace. The programme acts as a Community of Practice for delegates to network and communicate with their peers so that they can share experiences and practices across a wide array of organisations and project environments.
