Project Management in Local Government

This is one of APSE Training’s most successful courses. It is built upon the key idea that the nature of work and both how local authority and service objectives are achieved is changing at a rapid pace.

Increasing numbers of staff are finding that the majority of their time is spent working on projects as diverse as:

Undertaking service reviews
Delivering and supporting service partnerships
Developing integrated client and contractor service units
Undertaking change management projects
As well as the ‘usual’ projects delivered as part of day-to-day service operations

This introductory course is designed to take participants through a six-step project management methodology that they can confidently and effectively apply upon their return to their authority, to make a real difference to the projects with which they are involved.
