Course Overview

Managing Successful Programmes is the de-facto standard developed by the UK government for delivering change programmes in the UK. This course is an overview of the key principles of Programme Management and the processes that should be followed to achieve a successful outcome. The course can lead to a nationally recognised level 3 award accredited by EDI following an assessment exercise. It can also act as a very effective preparation for further Programme Management qualifications.

Why should you use Aspire Europe?

The case for using Aspire Europe is compelling; our consultants and trainers have been involved with Managing Successful Programmes since 1999. The course will be delivered by an experienced trainer who is also a consultant. The trainer will bring the subject alive and help the delegates to relate their own experience to this industry best practice.

The lead author of the current best practice guide is our Managing Director who created this short course.

We will offer an enjoyable learning environment which will stimulate discussion and develop ideas, particularly for in-house events.

The award assessment, if this is taken, will enhance the learning experience by relating the course concepts to the delegate’s own situation in their workplace.
