This comes after recent research shows that the Scottish construction industry needs to improve the project management skills of its managers.
 
Project Management training specialists, Monitor, will deliver programmes across the country at times and venues to suit managers attending. Construction and civil engineering company managers will attend competence based Project Management training courses leading to the internationally recognised awards of The Association for Project Management.

Substantial financial support for the initiative has been provided by ConstructionSkills

Vaughan Hart, Employment Affairs Manager, Scottish Building Federation said: "We are delighted to offer our members this exciting opportunity to develop their management teams' competency in project management.  Standing still is not an option and we need to continue to develop our people to allow us to compete effectively internationally".
 
The pilot course in the premises of the Scottish Building Federation took place on 5th to 6th June 2007 and feedback from the first 10 attendees was excellent.
