The training course was created to improve project management skills and increase access to European funds for all those who are interested in develop International cooperation projects and learn a common base for all EU Programs. The training is aimed at those who wish to further develop their project management and leadership skills in a network with others and in a focused learning environment.

Training focuses mainly on issues met by project managers who work with international projects with intercultural team members and stakeholders. It is challenging to work as a project manager. Working with international project management adds the extra challenges of dealing with different cultures, languages, geographically dispersed team members and/or managers and perhaps also time zones.

The Training  offers you the specific skills associated with working as an international project manager based on the global perspective incorporated in the programme which focuses on challenges met by project managers in an international and inter-cultural context. The strength of the Course lies in the fact that its teaching is based on constant planning activities, performed on behalf of the most important European resource and point of reference in this field. That is how the Course is able to offer practical, certified training that is constantly being updated on the procedures used in European project management. 

The approach used in the European Project Management in-service training course is highly practical, based on the expertise of the course trainers who have around 10 years experience in European project management and planning.

A practical simulation is carried out for each topic in focus during the European Project Design.
