Your professionals can build the skills they need to become successful project managers...
Most project management courses follow the traditional PM bootcamp model. They offer either one-and-done in-person trainings, or webinars or videos that participants watch on their own. However, we all know that project managers don’t work alone.
In just five weeks, the Project Management Accelerator - PM Skills Course will help your staff:
- Utilize a proven framework of questions for clearly identifying and managing project scope.
- Learn how to create a manage a project schedule by learning the two key elements of a schedule as well how to create diagrams with task dependencies.
- Estimate project costs effectively utilizing three different cost estimating techniques from the Project Management Institute's PMBOK.
- Develop a practical project plan, and then utilize it to assess the project, identify scope creep, and keep projects on track.
- Run efficient project kick-off meetings, and other project communication best practices.
...All the skills they’ll need to take that next step to become a Project Manager, and not crammed into one PM bootcamp where they are forced to drink from the PM skills fire-hose.

While our Project Management Accelerator – PM Skills Course is a new course, launching in March 2020, engineers from the companies below have participated in our Engineering Management Accelerator – People Skills Course which utilizes the same delivery process and course structure including the assignments and team challenge.
Course Overview
This 5-week ( 1 to 2 hours per week) online interactive course will teach, inspire, push, and connect your professionals to peers and coaches who will help them think like experienced project managers.
Most importantly, they will build confidence and realize that they have the abilities they need to manage projects successfully and drive positive change and growth for them personally, your firm, and your clients.
With live skill building sessions and coaching calls, personal assignments, and a forum for discussion, the workshop takes 5 – 10 hours to complete, most of which can be done outside of normal business hours.
**Successful completion of the course earns 5 PDHs accepted in most US States.

More customized than a PM bootcamp, book, series of webinars or a course...
Your staff will experience a real project with real people, and they'll present a solution.
Where the Project Management Accelerator is different is in the group project work. You will enroll your staff in teams and each team will be given a project challenge that they have to create a solution for and present that solution to our coaches and your company leadership.
Our students have to show up. Period.
The importance of showing up
In a busy project filled world, there are many ways for engineering professionals to hide. Your staff can stay as ‘team engineers’ forever and not take the steps towards managers. They can avoid having to do presentations. They can live with the doubt that builds up in their minds around their abilities to lead. However, hiding is not going to drive growth or change, in fact it will do the opposite.
This workshop will force your staff to think certain ways and to present their ideas to your company, and in the process will gain so much confidence, it will change their careers and your company forever.
A proven way to learn
If you want your engineers to become effective project managers that lead projects that positively impact our world, you’ll need to develop their confidence and their project management skills. This intensive workshop doesn’t require any pre-requisites, only the desire to show up and do the work in service of making change happen.
Ann M. Tomalavage, P.E., PMP, LEED-AP lead instructor, has a lot of experience both as an effective engineering project manager and a trainer who has helped thousands of engineers become better project managers. In this workshop, your staff will learn how to build the confidence and PM skills they need to transform into leaders that can drive massive growth.
