Our software training is usually based around hands-on workshops to provide our trainees with the required knowledge and skills to use the software tools with complete confidence. 

Custom-tailored Professional Development Programs
CMCS can develop custom-tailored professional development programmes that will suit corporates who are keen to build professional project management environments. CMCS will assess the training needs of the organisation as well as the candidates who will take part in the programme. This will enable CMCS to design an integrated professional development programme that will cover theoretical aspects of project management, software applications usage and actual implementation of learned practices. The workshops of such a programme would be usually based on sample projects that the organisation currently performs. Through CMCS’ strategic partnerships with a number of universities in the Middle East region, CMCS can organise for this custom-tailored programme to be accredited, thereby allowing the trainees to receive diploma certificates from these universities certifiying their attendance for such a programme.

Today, no organization can afford to execute programs and projects without proper project controls. Project controls are not limited to project scope, schedule and cost but it should cover all other vital project elements such as records, contracts, changes, risks, interfaces among many others. CMCS is offering one-day courses for which each course will explain how produce at least one of the key deliverables required for developing and implementing effective project management control systems (PMCS). Although those courses are not computer based training, nevertheless they incorporate be examples from leading software applications such as Oracle Primavera Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM), Oracle Primavera Contract Management (PCM), Oracle Primavera Risk Analysis, TILOS, CoreWorx and others to demonstrate how to get the PMCS deliverables.
