Learn directly from an experienced project practitioner
Your Trainer and Coach will be Dr Mike Clayton, founder of OnlinePMCourses
Dr Mike Clayton is a project management author, trainer and former Deloitte Senior Manager who has spent decades managing, teaching and writing about projects.
This course distils that experience into a practical system you can use on your own projects.
And, unlike most online courses, you can ask Mike questions about the material and how to apply it to your own situation.
He is a prolific blogger, contributor to ProjectManager.com and Project (the journal of the Association for Project Management - APM), and author of 15 best-selling books, including five about project management. He was also a principal author of the APM's Body of Knowledge 8th edition.
'The unique thing about the training from OnlinePMCourses is that you can interact with your trainer. This isn’t a study-in-isolation type programme, although of course you can do that if it suits your learning style. Mike is committed to giving you the support you need to make the course a success, so he has included a comments section in every module of the course. Ask your question and he’ll get back to you.'

A practical, end-to-end approach to predictive project management
This course is designed for projects where you need to define the work, build a credible plan, manage dependencies and resources, control change, manage risk and deliver against commitments.
It's particularly valuable when your project has defined deliverables, milestones, dependencies, budgets and a need for structured planning and control.
It isn't an Agile/Scrum course, a PMP exam-preparation course or a software tutorial. It's about learning how to actually manage projects.
Trusted by project professionals and learners around the world.
“Do you know that a career as a Project Manager is right for you...
But you don't have all the skills you need to get you properly started.
I know.
That was me, once.”
Dr Mike Clayton, founder of OnlinePMCourses

Best of all...
You get personal support from your trainer, Dr Mike Clayton.
Each module has a comments box where you can ask the questions you need answered.
Your tutor is Dr. Mike Clayton. As a senior manager at international consulting firm, Deloitte, Mike had to lead project staff, colleagues, and clients day-to-day. But more important, as a senior representative of his firm and a program leader, he needed to get the very best from everyone around him.
Now, as a trainer and facilitator, he has been applying what he learned and teaching it to others. This course represents 15 years' experience of what tools students find most helpful, and 25 years experience in business, managing and leading individuals and teams.
But note: the Q&A is not outsourced to some Fiverr pay-by-hour service.
Questions are answered personally by Mike. Response times may vary - typically 24-48 hours.

You will learn lots and benefit massively.
If you are considering buying this course... Do it! You will learn lots and benefit massively.
Before joining this course, I only learned about project management through work experience. As a result of taking this course, I have a better understanding of how things should work. And I like the ability to learn at my own pace. I'd recommend this course to any of my friends who want to also get into project management as it will help them to get to the next level.
Very user friendly, accessible, and understandable
Very user friendly, accessible, and understandable in a way that some of the other PM education I have engaged in has not been. Less "jargony" and more practical.
It's given me new perspectives/understanding of familiar topic areas; information I can share in new ways with others I am training in PM skills
I'd recommend this course to anyone interested in learning PM skills whether they aspire to getting the PMP certification or not.

“Please don't make the three big mistakes, that I see people like you making again and again.”
Mistake #1
Thinking that Project Management isn't for you. You aren't ready, it's too hard, there won't be any opportunities, or you need a live learning program to get started.
That's wrong: With a structured program, you can learn not just what to do, but why experienced project managers do it that way.
Project Management is a great career and one that is open to anyone with the right temperament, strong common sense, and tools and techniques.
Mistake #2
Trying to create your own Project Management training on the cheap. There is a lot of good stuff on the web, for free. There is a lot on our website.
Too many people try to build a YouTube syllabus and get themselves totally confused and misled by conflicting advice, mismatched terminology, inconsistent approaches, and some misleading content.
Reality:
Random videos give you disjointed fragments. This course covers everything you need, and shows how the pieces fit together.
Mistake #3
Putting too much work into reinventing the Project Management wheel. A lot of Project Management is applied common sense. So you could figure it all out if you needed to.
But it would take time, and you would doubtless make many more mistakes along the way.
Efficiency: Don't spend hours building your own project templates from scratch. Tap into many years of training, learning and experience, and download our 50+ tried and trusted project management templates.
Why a structured course beats learning project management from random videos
There is a huge amount of excellent project management content available online.
The problem isn't finding information. It's knowing what you need to learn, in what order, and how the pieces fit together.
The Immersion Program gives you a coherent path from project definition through planning, delivery, control and closure — with the tools to put each stage into practice.

Who is this not for?
This course is probably NOT for you if...
The skills you develop can strengthen your performance on your current projects and support your longer-term development as a project professional. But most of all, it will equip you to tackle real-world projects... with confidence!
