The Construction Education Council is pleased to announce the latest series of dates in its always-popular Project Management Program.

Book your calendars for the week of March 5 to 9 and March 26 to 30 for this informative gold and blue seal-accredited 10-day course. The course is designed to help you:

• improve the planning and controlling of your projects,
• take a business view of projects and take ownership of a project from bid to final payment,
• increase your own project “lessons learned” by learning from experiences of other
  participants,
• be able and willing to contribute improvements to your company’s project management
  process, and
• be better prepared to take the Gold Seal examination, if you choose.
