Here at PMO Learning, we want to ensure you’re receiving the right training for you and your team. We host regular taster sessions for both our certification and specialist courses to help give you an insight into the course content, our delivery methods, what our virtual classroom looks like, and to give you the opportunity to meet our fantastic trainers!
We also recently started a new series of Lunch and Learn sessions to discuss various topics, helping PMO Practitioners improve their understanding of the PMO environment!
See below for our previous and upcoming Lunch and Learn/Taster sessions.
In this Lunch and Learn session we will be taking a look at the different training courses that exist for people working in PMO today.
There are plenty to choose from – there are the ones that PMO Learning offers as well as wider training courses that are perfect for PMO practitioners.
During the session we’ll take a look at the different roles that exist in PMO and how the training courses available map to those roles.
If you’re someone who wants to make sure that you’re choosing the right learning and development in your PMO career, this is a great session to sign up for.
Got a specific PMO training or PMO role related question? Let us know when you register and we’ll include it in the session.
At PMO Learning, we offer public training and inhouse training.
As well as cost savings, there are many reasons why inhouse training can be more beneficial to your team, than each attending a public course individually.
During this Lunch and Learn session, we’ll explore what these numerous benefits are and how best to capitalise on them for your team before, during and after the course.
