    General

    What is the Project Management Fundamentals course and who is it for?

    Project Management Fundamentals is a foundation-level, non-certification course that teaches the essential principles, processes and tools used to run projects across the full lifecycle. It is designed for aspiring project managers, team leaders, coordinators and anyone in Ireland whose work supports project delivery.

    Is this training worth it for my career in Ireland?

    Yes. Project managers were the most in-demand professionals in Ireland in 2025 and 2026, and these fundamentals apply across technology, life sciences, construction and financial services. Building them early makes you more hireable and prepares you for roles that pay well as you progress.

    Do I need any prior experience to take this course?

    No. There are no prerequisites for the Project Management Fundamentals training. 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, so complete beginners are welcome.

    Is this a certification course?

    No. This is a practical, skills-first training programme with no exam and no accrediting body. On completion you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning, and the course serves as a strong foundation for later certifications such as CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2.

    How long is the training?

    The course runs over two days for a total of 16 hours, covering project management fundamentals across five modules. It combines lectures, interactive discussions and hands-on exercises so you can apply the concepts as you learn them.

    Pricing

    How much does the training cost in Ireland?

    Pricing is available on request and varies by delivery format, group size and schedule. Fees typically cover instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on exercises, learner support and the course completion certificate. Request a quote for current pricing in Ireland.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee usually includes instructor-led training, subject-matter-expert courseware, practical exercises, retrospective sessions, post-training support and a course completion certificate. Contact a learning advisor to confirm exactly what is included in your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer customised corporate group training with schedules and pricing tailored to your team size and needs. It is a cost-effective way to upskill several people at once. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    Are there any exam or membership fees to budget for?

    No. This is a non-certification course, so there is no exam fee or membership cost. You pay only the training fee, which keeps the total investment simple and predictable.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and instalment options are available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that works best for you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam at the end of the course?

    No. There is no examination. Learning is reinforced through lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on exercises and retrospective sessions rather than a formal test, so you can focus on understanding and applying the concepts.

    What will I receive on completing the training?

    On completing the programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning that recognises your learning achievement. The skills you gain are immediately applicable at work and do not expire.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment or pass mark. Instead, your understanding is built and checked through practical exercises, group discussions and retrospective sessions that connect each concept to real project situations.

    Does the course lead to a formal qualification?

    The course awards a completion certificate, not a formal certification. It is a foundation programme that builds practical capability and prepares you well for accredited qualifications such as CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2 if you choose to pursue them later.

    What can I do after finishing this training?

    You can apply the fundamentals directly at work to plan, run and close projects, and use the course as a base for further study. Many learners progress toward CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2 once they have these fundamentals in place.

    Course Content

    What topics does the training cover?

    The course covers five modules: project management concepts, project influences, the role of the project manager, the project management cycle, and an Agile projects overview. Together they span the full lifecycle from initiation to closure.

    Will I learn both Agile and traditional project management?

    Yes. The training grounds you in predictive, plan-based methodologies and also provides an overview of Agile, including Agile release planning and the Scrum process in brief, plus business-analysis approaches, so you understand how each fits.

    Can a complete beginner follow the material?

    Yes. The course is built for beginners as well as experienced professionals refreshing their fundamentals. It teaches from first principles, and hands-on exercises help you apply new concepts as you go, so no prior project background is needed.

    What practical skills will I gain?

    You will learn to manage scope, schedule, cost, resources and risk, write a business case and project charter, engage stakeholders, and control delivery through monitoring and closure. These are skills you can apply on real projects straight away.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware created by subject matter experts, along with practical exercises and reference resources. The training is delivered by experienced instructors through a mix of lectures, discussions and hands-on activities.
