PMP Certification – Skillnet funded – Dublin only – LAST 4 PLACES

The Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is the most widely recognised accreditation available to Project Managers worldwide.

Surprisingly, many managers have not underpinned their experience by gaining the certification and differentiating themselves from other Project Managers in this competitive job environment.

Our course is geared completely towards PMP certification and addresses the issues preventing learners from taking this final important step.

We include access to excellent exam simulation, one to one coaching and aim to ensure our candidates minimize the study time necessary and pass the certification exam on the first attempt.

Oracle SQL - Getting Started

More and more IT staff are being asked to manage Oracle installations and - at a minimum - be able to query them using basic SQL skills.

Our Introduction course is a common starting point in the Oracle database curriculum for administrators, developers and business users. The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the SQL database language within the context of an Oracle database.

On our courses, you will get expert insight and learn best practices to get started effectively using Oracle. We can provide focused consultancy or training for all levels of Oracle users.

Crystal Reports - getting the most from Business Intelligence (BI)

The key to unlocking information is to give users the tools to quickly and easily find answers to their questions. Standard reports that are updated on a regular basis provide some answers but the information that a user finds will often trigger more questions, and these questions will not be answered in a prepackaged report.

Crystal Reports is the world leader for flexible, ad-hoc reporting for all sizes of organisation. While users may spend 80% of their time accessing standard or personalized reports, you will find that for 20% of their tasks, they need to go elsewhere to obtain additional information not available in the original report. To address this need and avoid end user frustration (and related report backlog for the IT team), a BI system like Crystal Reports is required that lets users autonomously make ad hoc requests for information from corporate data sources.

Using Crystal Reports to its full potential requires expert training. Click here for details of our courses or Contact us for details of how Professional Training can assist you.

Managing Change

Changes in the global and local economy have rarely been as dramatic. In such a climate, the communication methods and style of managers are critical in reassuring staff, restoring morale and maintaining productivity levels. The change may be as small as changing work practices, or perhaps you have to make some of the existing staff redundant. How the manager presents and manages the process is critical in implementing and embedding the change.

Our interactive workshop is designed for managers and team leaders who are responsible for communicating the proposed changes and how they may affect the team. It will also be helpful to managers who may have to deal with the emotional reactions to the changes and develop a strategy to counter any resistance.

Negotiating for Results

Negotiating does not have a clear set of definite rules. There is no single best way to negotiate. The different styles of negotiating each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The secret is to select the best strategy based on the circumstances. The finished deal is a product of human interaction, personality, knowledge, power, and other variables.

Our workshop is designed for people who want to improve their skills as a negotiator. The training will present a strategy to control the process so that it can be managed more effectively and improve the results or outcomes.
