Training Approach:

“Tell me and I’ll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I’ll understand”
Training involves a number of techniques: lectures, facilitated discussion and exercises. Participants typically include project management personnel with a wide range of experience. The more experienced participants typically refresh their skills and understanding. More importantly, they contribute to the learning through relating the concepts to their personal experience with AECOM projects.

The training is preceded and followed by short in-class tests to document the learning that has occurred in the class and provide an indication of the competence level of the participants as they leave the class.

Very important “take-aways” from the class course are:

• The MAP Guidebook, a compendium of all of the elements of the course as well as appropriate supporting material
• A list of “Take Home Ideas” compiled by each participant
• A network of fellow Project Managers with whom they can socialize issues and ideas after the course is over.
