We are trying to look at developing a specific career structure for graduate trainees through Project Services depts - 6 to 9 months in planning, cost control, purchasing , expediting, quality, business development & construction management. Does anybody know of any suitable course material that we can latch on too that can offer some sort of qualification at the end and structured learning?

    You could try the PMI - they have various courses that all count towards a project management certificate - they also have a UK section.

    Peter,

    Nigel’s given you a good one there, but you could also try Association for Project Management.

    Thanks guys - I am a member of both organisations but wouldn’t use them for this. OK after a bit of project experience to direct graduates towards PMP or APM exams / status (as well as professional institutions).
    Thinking more along GNVQ / Open College type courses. BNFL started something similar 10 years ago.

    Still interested in this one guys.
    Need to structure project services guys through project management, planning, cost, estimating, procurement, quality etc depts in a career path. To attract graduates I need to offer some sort of structure and qualification prior to say MAPM or PMP.
