    General

    What is Project Management Fundamentals training?

    Project Management Fundamentals training is a foundation-level programme that teaches the core principles, processes and tools of project management across the full lifecycle, from initiation and planning to execution, monitoring, control and closure. It suits anyone in Ottawa whose work supports projects.

    Who should take this project management course in Ottawa?

    The course is designed for aspiring project managers, team leaders, coordinators, entry-level professionals and cross-functional team members. It is a strong fit for Ottawa's government, technology, defence and engineering teams, and for anyone who wants to run projects with a clear method.

    Is this training worth it for my career?

    Yes. Project skills are in demand across Ottawa, where project managers average around CA$90,000 a year and senior roles reach well beyond that. The fundamentals help you qualify for coordinator and project manager roles and build a base for later credentials. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Do I need any prior experience to join?

    No prior experience is required. There are no prerequisites for the programme. Some background in project work can help you get more from the material, but the course is built to teach the fundamentals from first principles.

    Which approaches does the course cover?

    The course covers predictive (plan-based) methods, Agile frameworks and business-analysis approaches. You also learn the project and organisation lifecycle and core project management processes, so you understand how different types of projects are shaped and delivered.

    Pricing

    How much does the training cost in Ottawa?

    Pricing is available on request and varies by delivery format and group size. The fee covers instructor-led training, courseware, hands-on exercises and a course completion certificate. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share the current options for Ottawa.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across the five-module syllabus, structured courseware and learning materials, hands-on exercises and discussions, learner support, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam at the end of the course?

    No. This is a skills-focused programme with no exam. Your learning is reinforced through lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on exercises and retrospective sessions rather than a formal test.

    What do I receive on completing the course?

    On completing the programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning, recognising your learning achievement. The practical skills you gain apply immediately at work and do not expire.

    Is this a certification course?

    No. Project Management Fundamentals is a non-certification skills course that is not tied to any accrediting body. It gives you a foundation you can build on if you later choose to pursue credentials such as CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2.

    How is my learning reinforced without an exam?

    Learning is reinforced through a mix of lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on exercises and retrospective sessions. You practise applying the concepts to realistic scenarios, so you leave able to use the fundamentals in your own projects.

    Can this help me pursue a certification later?

    Yes. The programme is a recognised starting point for professionals who later pursue certifications such as CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2. It builds the underlying knowledge those credentials assume, making further study more manageable.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the programme?

    You will learn how to manage the full project lifecycle, plan scope, schedule and cost, manage quality, risk and stakeholders, understand project influences and governance, and apply predictive and Agile approaches, plus change, procurement and closure.

    How long is the training and how is it structured?

    The training runs for two days (16 hours) across five modules: project management concepts, project influences, the role of the project manager, the project management cycle, and an Agile projects overview. It can also run as four half-days.

    Does the course cover Agile as well as traditional methods?

    Yes. Alongside predictive, plan-based methods, the course includes an Agile projects overview covering Agile release planning and the Scrum process in brief, so you understand how both approaches work and when each fits.

    Are there hands-on exercises and materials?

    Yes. The instructor-led programme mixes lectures, interactive discussions and hands-on exercises, supported by structured courseware created by subject-matter experts. You practise applying concepts to workplace-style scenarios throughout.

    Is the course suitable for complete beginners?

    Yes. The course is built for people new to project work and teaches the fundamentals from first principles. There are no prerequisites, so beginners and experienced professionals refreshing their basics both benefit.
