Frontline Project Management training programme is tailored to the low voltage electrical/construction industry. It was conceived to teach the Security and Systems Project Managers how to play the construction game and manage their projects as electrical and general contractors. 

Programme contents

This unique programme consists of two parts: (1) The online programme which is about eight hours of interactive self-paced and (2) two-hours Instructor-led workshop to review lessons learned, implement best practices, and allow students to discuss specific real-life projects challenges.
