L&D professionals who have been given projects to run, new or informal project managers who want structure, and HR or training managers who oversee learning initiatives. No prior project management training is needed.

No. The course starts with the fundamentals and builds up through initiation, planning, implementation and finalisation. If you already know a methodology such as PMBOK, PRINCE2 or Agile, you will find it a useful refresher focused on how those ideas apply to learning projects.

The L&D project lifecycle, project charters and stakeholders, the project management plan, scheduling and estimation, budget and quality management, project teams and suppliers, risk and change management, and how to close and review a project. You apply each step to a real project from your own workplace.

Face to face it is one day, 9:00am to 4:30pm, in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra. Online it is a blended program over about two weeks: pre-work, three live two-hour Zoom sessions across two days, and a 90-minute reflective session two weeks later where you report back on your project. You earn an AITD certificate and a digital badge on completion. In-house delivery is also available for teams.

Experienced L&D project practitioners from the AITD facilitator team, including Pam Macdonald, Jina Hardy, Andrew Lawson and Nick Jago. The facilitator for each date is shown on the event listing.

It is mapped to the AITD Capability Framework at a foundational to intermediate level, building capability in L&D Project Management. See the AITD Capability Framework for the full set of L&D capabilities.
