Certified Project Manager Service

In this course, the participants will develop management tools to plan and implement service projects successfully.

Topics such as the special requirements for service projects, fundamentals of project management, customer acquisition and resource and cost planning as well as effective communication in projects will be covered during the five-day course.

In a service project, participants apply the newly acquired skills to their own service project management practice.

The participants learn in this course,

• how to make their service fit for the growing solutions business and what role service projects play,
• why service projects have very different requirements than, for example, projects in other areas of the company,
• how they combine high customer orientation with organizational and economic efficiency,
• which internal and external interfaces should be planned and carefully defined,
• which project management tools are helpful for service projects and which you should better avoid,
• what constitutes effective communication in projects and how to foster it and how to make service even more successful with projects.

The participants ...

... will develop the project framework of their own project for their company during the course week. As part of the final exam, the participants develop a Real Life Project in their field of service and present it to the examination board.

As part of this comprehensive course (5 days plus 4-week accompanied project work and final exam) the participants develop an understanding for planning and execution as well as for successful communication in service projects.

The comprehensive final exam, consisting of a written exam, a thesis and its presentation, consolidates the newly acquired knowledge and creates the basis for the numerous requirements for professional cooperation and leadership within the framework of a project.

After passing the final exam, the graduate receives a certificate from the ISS International Business School of Service Management.

Their own project is implemented with learned methods in the participant's company.

We recommend bringing a laptop with office applications for the workshops, if available.
