Project Management

femilangy,

i don't know much about PRINCE2. I think Modu is more positioned to help you out on that.

Regards.

hello house,
please i want to do a professional course and i'm thinking of project management, i read civil engineering. i'll like to know how to get started and how to enrol for it. what institution, location and if possible the fees and duration for that.
i look forward to a response because i want to start off with the new year
thanks

@oscartawn,

I think I saw a thread like that but if you start a new one, I am almost certain many prospective professionals will be interested. Have you attended the preparatory training? 

Well i believe Microsoft project is very easy to use and when you understand the basic principle it will give u what u want which will also be the same if you use Primavera open plan , any other methods even manual u will get the same result.

I have being using it in the oil and gas and it is working well for me.

So if u have any problem in the softwares  i can put u through if possible.

Project management involves much more than project accounting. Absolutely, you don't need PM accreditation/credential to be a project accountant because they are two different things. PMgt involves planning/directing/executing/managing projects so a supposed project accountant should work with the direction of the PMger. PMgt is career neutral so you can go into it provided some level of technicality sits well with you but, please know that accounting and PMgt might not readily recognise each other in the dark.

I advise you follow up and finish your ACCA first before going into PM.

I hope this helps.

thanks kashif for your response,by d way do you know anything bout business analysis

From April 2007 to date alone,
a total of 785 Nigerians have completed our project management programme,   What are you waiting for?

kashif,
I took alot of time to read your views on PM and Prince 2. I have sent you a mail requesting for both the prince 2 and the PMBok. Please i do hope you send them to me. As i could deduce this topic as been on for a while but coming into 2008 the response as been abit less. I would want to know the possibility of studying and taking the examinations alone which would take a lesser time or going through the various bodies offering the training on weekend basis only. Please get back to me with your view. Thanks,  my email el_bwale@yahoo.com

@ kashif please I need some advice; I took the EMC class with Project management college, UK and the course content include general project management methodologies, PRINCE 2 and MS project and the certificate I'll be getting is the school's and I'm thinking of taking the PRINCE 2 foundation exam so I can get the Institute's own certificate, but is it really necessary is wot I want to know. Your response would be highly appreciated. NB:  Please where can one get project management experience for a budding PM myself who is a fresh graduate?

Thanx in advance!

Did what you post work for you? Are you certified? I don't think what you are saying is in consonance with PMI's standards.

It worked for me. There is no PMI standard against such training. The PMI education requirement is that you have 35hrs of training. Your Bachelors degree counts towards that. And such training also counts towards it.
