Course Objectives and Target Audience

This one-day course has been designed to enable participants to understand the basics of project management and develop the technical vocabulary required to talk about projects and their progress.

The course is offered to translation professionals dealing primarily with large multi-national organisations who wish to gain awareness of the terminology used in project management and understand the key concepts behind it. The course will therefore cover the basics of the theory of project management and provide key definitions.

Due to the time-constraint some of the course elements will be covered at a high level only, with the aim of nevertheless providing a good overview of the key topics. It should also be noted that while the course can definitely provide inspiration, training future project managers is not among its objectives.
