TRAINING.

Overview

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Learn about project objective and scope of work formulation and vetting. 
• Gain knowledge about the value of proper protocol and effective communication in successful implementation of a project.
• Understand safety in project construction phase, PPE, Fire Protection, Elevated Work, SPCC, RCRA, Arc Flash, LOTO, Emergency Action Plan
• Learn about proven best practices that can be pivotal in successful execution of projects.
• Get updated about proven best practices for orderly and effective commissioning and closure of projects.

Program Description
This course caters to professionals who are responsible for execution of projects involving construction, start-up and commissioning of manufacturing, commercial, and institutional facilities. Participants will be exposed to the A - Z of project management. The program begins with the formulation, vetting and acceptance of the project objective and takes the audience all the way to commissioning and project closure stage - navigating through all phases of project implementation or execution.

In addition to being introduced to commercially available project management programs/tools, participants will get the opportunity to learn lessons that are seldom covered in textbooks and are often acquired through experience.
