Training Certificate

Prolific Consultants FZE Certificate of Course Completion will be issued to all attendees.

Course Introduction

Project Scheduling involves creating a timeline for project tasks and milestones, allocating resources, and setting deadlines to ensure timely project completion. It includes methods like Gantt charts, Critical Path Method (CPM), and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT).

Cost Planning entails estimating, budgeting, and controlling project costs. It includes forecasting expenses, setting a budget, and monitoring financial performance throughout the project to avoid overruns and ensure financial efficiency.

Mastering these skills helps in organizing tasks, optimizing resources, managing budgets, and ultimately delivering successful projects on time and within budget.
