There has never been a greater need for effective project management within public sector and government departments with the large number of high profile projects being undertaken across Scotland.

Billions of pounds are being spent on a large number of projects from local authority transformation to major infrastructure and building projects, such as the building for schools programme and road and transport improvement projects.

Good project management knowledge and skills are essential for the delivery of successful projects especially within the current economic climate that more than ever dictates the importance of effective project management.
