Who we are
Formed in 2009 by John Bolton and Paul Naybour, Parallel Project Training is now an established and valued training provider within the project industry.
Paul and John formed Parallel to offer better quality and cost-effective training to up-and-coming project managers. Paul and John each have over 20 years of experience in the project management training business. Following the 2008 crash, they could see that customers wanted more cost-effective and flexible training. They were the first to write up the APM courses in a study guide, the first to publish the APM course as podcasts and the first to offer distance learning for the APM PMQ course. The business has grown significantly, and Parallel’s project management podcasts now have well over 1 million downloads.
Over the years, Parallel has developed a small but experienced team of like-minded employees and associates. All Parallel trainers are project managers first, with practical experience that they can draw on. They are passionate about training, and endeavour to make all interactions with delegates, whether in person or virtually, engaging and interactive.
We’re with you all the way. Wherever your career takes you, Parallel aims to make you more successful, more employable and a better project manager. Many of the people we trained at the start of their careers are now Programme Managers and Heads of Project Management, and now use us to train their teams.
