Who should take this course in Wellington?

The course suits anyone whose work supports projects, including aspiring project managers, team leaders, project co-ordinators, entry-level professionals and cross-functional team members. It is ideal for people in Wellington's public sector, technology and infrastructure organisations who want a practical grounding in how projects work.

Is Project Management Fundamentals training worth it?

Yes. It gives you job-ready skills that are valued across every project-driven sector in Wellington, from government and technology to infrastructure. You learn to plan, run and close projects with structure, which helps you contribute more, take on responsibility, and build toward roles such as project co-ordinator and project manager.

Do I need prior experience to join the course?

No. There are no prerequisites. Some background in project work can help you get more from the material, but the course is designed to teach the fundamentals from first principles, so complete beginners are welcome.

What will I be able to do after completing the course?

You will be able to plan a project, define and manage scope, schedule and budget, handle risk, quality and stakeholders, and take a project through its full lifecycle. You will also understand how predictive and Agile approaches fit together and how governance and the PMO shape delivery.

How much does the training cost in Wellington?

Pricing is available on request and varies by delivery format, group size and schedule. Fees are quoted in New Zealand dollars for local delivery. Request a quote from a learning advisor for current individual and group pricing.

What is included in the course fee?

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

Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

Yes. We offer tailored corporate group training with volume-based pricing for departments, project teams and whole functions in Wellington. Contact us for a customised group quote.

What payment options are available?

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

Are discounts available for team enrolments?

Yes. Enrolling several people together usually qualifies for group rates, and in-house corporate delivery can be more cost-effective for larger teams. Ask about corporate and group pricing when you request a quote.

Is this a certification course with an exam?

No. This is a non-certification, foundation-level training course. It is not tied to any accrediting body and has no examination. On completing the two-day programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning that recognises your learning.

What will I receive after completing the training?

You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. It recognises that you have completed the two-day programme and covers the full five-module syllabus of project management fundamentals.

How is my learning reinforced during the course?

Learning is reinforced through a mix of lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on exercises and retrospective sessions rather than a formal test. This keeps the focus on applying the concepts to real workplace situations.

Can this course prepare me for CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2?

Yes. The fundamentals give you a strong base for pursuing further qualifications such as CAPM, PMP or PRINCE2 later. It helps you build core knowledge and confidence before you take on a more advanced programme.

Does the course completion certificate expire?

No. The skills you learn are immediately applicable and do not expire, and there is no renewal to maintain. Your course completion certificate from Invensis Learning remains a permanent record of your learning.

What topics does the course 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 cover scope, schedule, cost, resources, quality, risk, stakeholders and the full lifecycle.

How long is the training and what is the format?

The programme runs over two days for a total of 16 hours, delivered through interactive, instructor-led sessions. It combines lectures, discussions and hands-on exercises so you can apply the concepts as you learn them.

Does the course cover Agile as well as traditional methods?

Yes. Alongside predictive, plan-based project management, the course includes an overview of Agile, covering release planning and the Scrum process in brief, so you understand how the two approaches complement each other.

What learning materials are provided?

You get structured courseware created by subject matter experts, along with exercises, case discussions and reference materials that support each module. These help you follow the syllabus and apply the concepts at work.

Is the course suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. The course is built to teach project management from first principles, with no prior experience required. It is a popular, effective starting point for people who are new to project work.
