Paul Naybour, Business Development Director, commented, “We believe the demand for project management training will increase in 2011 as businesses begin to understand how effective PM training enables cost effective projects. The use of new technologies such as podcasts and e-learning has also saved students hundreds of hours of classroom based learning, whilst also increasing the exam pass rate. These new approaches offer employers a cost effective way to develop their project professionals.
