About founding OnlinePMCourses

When I was at the start of my career, I wanted to get an opportunity to manage my first project. But my boss told me I couldn't do that untilI had had some training. But being a small company, there was no training on offer. I was caught in a Catch 22.

At the time, I would have paid good money for a structured introduction to project management.

And, as I progressed and needed more knowledge in specialised areas, like risk management and stakeholder engagement... all there was were heavy textbooks or lightweight magazine articles. What I wanted was more of the practical lessons from the trainers I'd had.

So that, in a nutshell, is why I built OnlinePMCourses.

I hope it helps you build the project management career you want.
