The business case

Better projects, delivered.

Weak project delivery is expensive. This programme builds the capability to run projects consistently and well, with a direct impact on delivery, governance and cost across your organisation.

01
Project delivery
More of your priority projects delivered on time, on scope and to plan.
02
Governance & assurance
Consistent methods, clear reporting and better-informed decisions.
03
Fewer delays
Risks and issues surfaced and managed before they derail delivery.
04
Budget control
Tighter control of project cost, resourcing and forecasting.
05
Stakeholder confidence
Clear communication that keeps sponsors and teams aligned.
06
Repeatable capability
A consistent way of running projects that scales across teams.
What your people will do

Applied from day one, in your workplace.

Everything is built around the real work in front of them, so the organisation sees value long before the qualification completes.

Plan and scope projects with clear objectives and deliverables
Build and manage realistic schedules, budgets and resources
Identify, monitor and manage risks and issues throughout
Keep stakeholders informed and aligned from start to finish
Apply recognised project management methods and governance
Lead a real workplace project from initiation to close
The live workplace project
One live project.
Delivered end to end by programme end.

Every apprentice leads a real project inside your business, from initiation to close. It becomes the evidence for their assessment and a measured return on your levy investment, not a classroom exercise.

Time saved, processes improved and productivity gained are documented and reported back, so you can see the impact directly.

Beyond the qualification

More than a qualification. A network.

As an RTB client, you and your teams get more than the programme itself. Through our network of 900+ speakers and experts, your people get live webinars running alongside their apprenticeship, events, resources and the chance to book global experts directly.
