About the course

Foundations is where your project-management journey begins. In this course, you’ll discover what defines a project, how projects create change and value, and why having a structured approach makes such a difference.

Through short, engaging lessons and simple real-world examples, you’ll see how roles, governance and success factors fit together to support successful delivery. Whether you’re an accidental project manager running your first project or want to understand how projects work inside organisations, this course gives you the clarity to move from uncertainty to confident action.

Key benefits of this course 

Start at the very beginning 

Learn what makes a piece of work “project-shaped”, how projects differ from business-as-usual, and why structured project management strengthens delivery in every sector.

Who, what, why & when?

Explore the key roles that make projects succeed, from project manager to sponsor, and the systems that keep everything aligned, such as governance, and PMOs.

Take control

Move beyond guesswork – understand project structures, set clear expectations, and spot warning signs early, giving you more control and stronger results.
