Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Do any of you know of any planning courses which cover all aspects of planning?

I am a planner for a large utility company, i have been planning now for almost a year and i want to make sure that the processess i have put in place are correct.

I have searched for training but only come across primavera training to which i have done most of the courses, these are more based at the software rather than planning in general.

I need to be able to know all planning aspects from kicking off a project, baselining, control, capture, reporting and close.

 

If you could recomend any training providers that would be great.

There are several general courses available.

A number of providers world-wide offer training for the AACEi PSP credential (but you need to be really good to pass this exam…. See http://www.aacei.org/educ/cert/PSP/

There are also courses available for the PMI-SP credential – we have one.  See: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Training-Planning.html

At a far more practical level, the CIOB (UK) are developing a series of credentials – these will be launched later this year with exams available from Q1 2012.  For more on this see: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Training-CIOB-TM_Credential.html(UK courses will be available later this year from Athena PM).

And we also offer software free training based on good practice, the next public course is in Doha.  See: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Training-PMGen%205-STEPS.html

Hope this helps.
