course synopsis:

Managing Projects covers the entire project life cycle. It is intended to be the first course in ESI's Project Management curriculum and offers a foundation for the other core courses.

 

This ESI online course takes advantage of an engaging new learning methodology and Macromedia^® Flash^™ delivery platform. Each lesson includes a realistic scenario and a problem related to project management — similar to those project managers face every day, along with the resources necessary to solve each problem.

 

Learning is both independent and interactive. Lessons and individual assignments are self-paced. In addition, threaded discussion questions enable participants to apply the lesson content to their own work situations and interact with other participants. The instructor provides personalized feedback to both the individual assignments and threaded discussion answers, and is always available to answer participants' questions about course concepts.
