PM LEARNING |
| e-LEARNING INTRODUCTION |
|
For many years PM Solutions Australia, and its project consultants, have been deeply involved with Project Managers and their Project Teams in a vast array of project types, in both the government and private sectors. One of the most common questions our consultants and company have been asked, is and remains, “how to get started in project management?” or equally “how do I get to the next level of project management?”
We have found that many talented and dedicated people give up their aspirations for project management, due to all the initial hurdles of gaining knowledge and experience. This was also true of our own project professional early in their careers, and they, like you, struggled for years trying to figure things out, and made plenty of mistakes in the process.
Now there is a resource available to you now that we never had!
What is it?
It's called the PM Learning, and it's everything we wished we had starting our careers and journey into formal project management.
Who is it for?
Our PM Learning e-courses have been developed for for those who are:

How was it developed?
The PM Learning content and concept was developed by Josh Nankivel, CEO of pmStudent. In conjunction with PM Solutions Australia the original e- Learning concept was further developed to cater for Australasian project professionals.
Josh Nankivel has been helping new and aspiring project managers succeed for many years. He has over ten years of “real life - hands on” project management experience, coupled with a Bachelor of Science degree in Project Management, and is PMP certified by the Project Management Institute. Josh has successfully delivered projects for Fortune 500® companies and some of the world's leading organisations including SAIC, Citigroup and Gateway, in the fields of aviation, aerospace, science, engineering, finance, telecommunications and information technology. Josh is also a member of PMI and has lead Special Interest Groups (SIGs) on project management disciplines, as well as working with a leading training organisation in Silicon Valley, USA. How is PM Learning different?
Unlike many expensive, time consuming and non-practical training courses for project management and related disciplines, the PM Learning is a private on-line community where like-minded people help each other out. It's based on a combination of education and interaction that takes everyone's project management skills to a higher level, all at your own pace and for a fraction of the cost of classroom based training or fixed on-line solutions.
The PM Learning concept and courses, are not methodology specific, and your gained learning can be applied to almost any methodology, wether it be in-house or a globally recognised process. Our e-Learning coaches and mentors guide you through the steps, process, tricks and secrets of project management, in a way that is simple, fun and makes sense to you. Its one thing to be trained in a methodology, it is a completely different thing to be able to apply that methodology in the real world. Our PM Learning shows you how real projects managers apply their knowledge to projects.
What are the benefits?
Realistic cost!
Unlike time consuming, expensive, impersonal and rigid classroom training the PMLearning allows you to learn at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home, workplace, and at a pace that suits you. No travel, time off work, no lost income and you can apply your gained knowledge day by day.
Your time and place!
PM Learning encourages you to access training, when and where you want, as often as you like, it's like having a full time mentor or coach at your personal disposal. You can do modules and topics on train to work, at lunch time, in the park or in the evening in a relaxed and familiar environment that suits you. You can even call on the PM Learning courses whilst you are undertaking a project, ensuring you have the right help when you need it most.
No cost learning updates!
Unlike traditional on-line and classroom based training course that you have to be repeated, re-done or require a bridging course when a new version or edition is released, usually at an extra cost, PM Learning courses are updated regularly to incorporate user feedback and input from individuals, industry leading organisations, associations and peak bodies. This means that you get the best learning content from a globally community of the experienced project professionals. You are even notified when updates have been added, and directed straight to the new content.
Interaction!
Through our on-line forums, dedicated to each training course, you have unlimited access to instructors, mentors, and other students to help answer questions, problems and queries. The on-line global PM Learning community is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You get the wisdom, advice and insight from a world-wide community of project professionals. Along with our training content provider, we're building a community of learning, but often the greatest professional growth comes from interacting with instructors, mentors, and other students. This is a big part of the vision for the PM Learning.
Access to leading project managers and consultants!
Each month will feature at least one Q&A session with your e-Learning course trainer and a guest project manager. You'll get to ask specific questions about the courses and your specific situation, often from people who normally charge high prices for consulting and training. Again, these Q&A calls are worth way more than the price of admission alone, and they're in addition to the educational content.
World-wide project management support!
The true lasting value of this private community comes from the networking, support and insights that come from the interaction among members. You'll find colleagues and friends from every stage of getting into project management. The relationships that form here are worth their weight in gold, and you'll see me being much more candid than I ever would on the outside. We will also share templates and best practices with each other as we go through this journey together.
Ever growing and changing!
Our PM Learning community will continue to grow and evolve as time goes on, with new features and resources. The possibilities are limitless! This process will be heavily dependent on feedback from the community to make the PMLearning courses as valuable as it can be for everyone.
What are the courses?
Each month will feature a new course on a relevant topic for new project managers. These educational are presented asa mentoring session, with lots of stories to illustrate the points and talking about them like “real people” do. You do not get spoken down to and there is no fear of being “scorned upon”, "apperaing foolish" or “time constraints” for asking questions at any time. Ask as many as you like, when you like! This is your PM Learning!
