Choosing the right project management courses among the plethora of options, however, can be daunting!  This article provides some guidance to help project managers more easily sift through the myriad of options and find the ideal set of project management training courses for their situation.

Here are some steps a project manager can take to identify the most beneficial project management training courses for their situation:

1. Match Training to Current Challenges

A great place to start is to first look at current challenges and problems.  For example, Project Managers often have challenges gathering clear requirements for the project, or maybe have special challenges with stakeholders on their projects.  .  Another complex multi-dimensional issue is project communications.  Other less experienced project managers might like to work on their basic management skills.  This may involve taking project management training courses covering a broad project management methodology or framework and enhancing professional credentials by earning a project management certification.

2. Select Best Delivery Methods

As a second step, it is necessary to consider preferred methods of delivery for the project management courses.  The most popular include classroom, audio, and online project management training.

Classroom training

However, classroom training is expensive, might involve travel, require the sacrifice of work time, and must be scheduled. The student also must participate in ALL topics, even those of lesser interest.

Audio project management courses

Audio project management training courses are gaining in popularity and can be very convenient, especially as a supplement to other training.  While many usually lack the visual learning aspect, some PDA-based audio programs, are beginning to add video, enhancing the ‘anytime, anywhere’ aspect of this training method.  For situations such as walking or driving a car, it important to assure that the audio alone is still effective.  In general, audio or PDA-based project management training courses are a great supplement to other learning methods.

Project management courses online

Project management training courses can be taken online, and some are instructor assisted and some are simply pure, or individual, online training.  Some online project management courses are live and are led and facilitated by an instructor over the internet at a scheduled time.  These courses usually include the ability to interact online with the students and instructor during the class.  Pure, unassisted, online training, on the other hand, is self-contained, is available 24×7, and the student can easily screen for topics of greater interest.  Many online project management training courses also include and on-demand online mentor to contact for help.

3. Topics for project management training courses

Lots of topics are appropriate for project management training courses.  For example, something like Microsoft Project training might be a good topic for project managers who need to learn about a project management tool.  A new PM with a technical background might like project management training courses on transitioning from more technical functions to project management.  Others in the IT field, for example, might enjoy an IT project management course. There are many other topics, especially in the soft skills areas like leadership, management, and where a Project Manager can find just the right course at the right time to take skills to the next level.

4. Taking Action right Away

Once the choice is made, it is beneficial to take the selected Project Management Training Courses as soon as possible to have the maximum impact!  Realizing the benefit from project management training courses lies in applying the knowledge right away, and this also makes that knowledge one’s own for the long haul.

In summary, the way to get the most out of project management training courses is to choose a topic related to something of very current interest, something for which there is a burning desire or need and that can be applied right away.  Picking from among classroom, online, audio, self-paced, or other courses is an individual matter.  However, giving one’s full focus and attention to the project management training courses and applying what was learned in the right away ensures maximum effectiveness!

Every TEFL teacher training course should be accredited with “accredited” meaning that an outside institution has reviewed the course, course content and the trainers delivering the course.  Accreditation is important for teachers looking to enroll because it is a way of telling that the TEFL course meets a minimum of standards with regards to curriculum and teacher-trainers.  In addition, the accreditation is important when that teacher begins to look for employment because many schools only want TEFL teachers that have received TEFL certification from a ‘recognized’ or ‘approved’ TEFL training course.  Accreditation by an outside organization is an assurance to the teacher and the schools that the training course meets minimum industry standards.

When talking about TEFL training course accreditation, the first thing is not to confuse recognition with certification.   While there are some organizations that certify TEFL courses, these organizations are not officially recognized by any international governing body.  Why?  Because there is no internationally recognized governing body for TEFL teacher training.  Most accreditation organizations are national or regional so many organizations tend to have no recognition beyond the legitimacy a school in another geographic location is willing to give them.  As a result, teachers tend to be at the mercy of national or regional preferences with regards to TEFL training certification.  In addition, the type of TEFL course taken affects whether a school will accept the training course as ‘legitimate’.  The two types of courses to be considered are traditional on-site courses and online distance learning course, each with their own pros and cons as well as accreditation organizations.  Finally, courses such Trinity TESOL (www.trinitycollege.co.uk/site/?id=293) and Cambridge ESOL (www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/) rely on self-accreditation by virtue of the fact that they have become industry standards that are universally recognized and accepted.  Regardless, there are some accreditation factors to take into consideration when considering TEFL training course options, whether traditional on-site or online distance learning courses. 

Traditional On-Site TEFL Courses
Traditionally, local or national government agencies, or more “genuine” agencies tend to provide accreditation to traditional on-site TEFL teacher training courses.  The accreditation requirements and criteria will vary depending on where in the world the course is offered.  In addition, the accreditation agencies don’t typically guarantee the quality of the course so it is still up to the teacher to do some research on the TEFL training course they are interested in. Regardless, traditional on-site courses tend to have more stringent requirements to meet and provide practical application practice of skills learned within the classroom.  Therefore, they are usually more recognized by some schools.  For those teachers that have the time and money to invest, they should consider this option.

Following are a list of the more “legitimate” accreditation agencies though it is not remotely close to a complete list because of all the organizations that provide accreditation to university programs, regional university accreditation organizations (USA), etc.:
• University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) – www.cambridgeassessment.org.uk
• Trinity  College – www.trinitycollege.co.uk
• College of Teachers – www.collegeofteachers.ac.uk
• Education Development International (EDI) – www.ediplc.com
• London Chamber of Commerce International Examinations Board (LCCIEB) – www.lccieb.com
      o Associated with EDI
• Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors (ASPA) – www.aspa-usa.org
• Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) – www.chea.org

Online or Distance TEFL Courses
Unlike traditional on-site programs, online or distance TEFL teacher training courses don’t have any official accrediting organizations.  In addition, the standards associated with the various accreditation organizations of online/distance TEFL courses vary greatly from one organization to another.  Regardless, these training courses can be “accredited” but this is where recognition versus accreditation is even more important.  Therefore, if accreditation is important to you or the school you wish to apply to, you should closely review the accrediting organization’s accreditation process and requirements.  This will tell you more about the recognition of the accreditation.  In addition, you should review the course content offered as well as teacher feedback regarding the course. 

Some of the better known accreditation agencies of online or distance learning courses are:
• Accreditation Council for TESOL Distance Education Courses (ACTDEC) – www.actdec.org.uk
• European Association for Distance Learning (EADL) – www.eadl.org
      o Formerly known as AECS
• European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) – www.eadtu.nl
• Open and Distance Learning Quality Council (ODLQC) – www.odlqc.org.uk
• Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) – www.detc.org
• U.S. Distance Learning Association (USDLA) – www.usdla.org

Conclusion
There is no hard and fast rule with regards to what TEFL teacher training course will be recognized by the school you are applying to.   Accreditation versus recognition will always be an issue with some schools.  Therefore, it is best to ask schools within the countries you are planning to work what TEFL training courses they accept so you can choose the course most preferred.  It should also be noted that most schools prefer training courses that include observed teaching practice within their course content.   For those not sure where their TEFL teaching careers will lead them and who are willing to make the significant investment in time and money, the Trinity TESOL (www.trinitycollege.co.uk/site/?id=293) or Cambridge ESOL (www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/) would be the best option to consider.  Regardless, every TEFL course out there, and the accreditation organizations that certify them, have their benefits and draw backs so it is best to choose the course that best meets your short term needs/limitations and fits with your long term plans.

As the security risk factor increases, the number of close protection training courses for bodyguard work also increases.

Business owners are sending their security staff on to a close protection driving & bodyguard training course to reduce their security risk.

While the close protection world is experiencing business growth, business owners can’t get free bodyguard training, so they are buying the cheapest bodyguard training course available.

Although it’s a sad indictment, whenever something really bad happens in the security or close protection world, we always witness a global growth for professional bodyguard work.

The ability to service this natural organic growth might explain why the close protection industry is bucking the trend during the current economic downturn and experiencing massive business sector growth.

The security industry has consistently placed high in the list of global growth industries during the last 25 years and most economics professors agree it will remain in the top 10 list of growth industries for the next 25 years.

If you need the reason why, then consider if the world is a safer place now, than it was 25 years ago.

Most close protection specialists will inform you that protective service operations is one of the fastest growth areas of the security industry. This in part can be attributed to the increased security risk in politically volatile regions and war zone destinations.

Both of these areas requires all forms of expertise to be provided from the military forces attempting to keep the peace, and attempting to rebuild damaged infrastructure.

Typically I am talking about the UK and USA military and security forces. Once the human expertise has been found, then they need to be protected.

This expertise is cross industry sector, i.e. Construction experts, IT experts, communications experts, police and security trainers etc, etc.

The increase in bodyguard work and bodyguard jobs has not gone unnoticed by members of the general public and astute business owners.

One only has to research some of the information posted on a well known close protection forum to understand the security industry is buzzing with new close protection training courses.

To service this demand, one UK close protection company has released the world’s first ever anti terrorist close protection driving home study programme. This accompanies its globally successful range of six close protection home study training programmes.

Like the security industry, the close protection industry has witnessed significant changes during recent years.

And while everyone in the security industry knows there’s no such concept of free bodyguard training, many professional and aspiring Bodyguards are investing in the next best thing, i.e. the cheapest bodyguard training course available.

Make no mistake, cheapest doesn’t mean poor value for money. In fact quite the opposite, in this case cheapest offers far more value than cost, and it’s the Bodyguards seeking well paid bodyguards jobs that are reaping the added value benefits from this type of close protection, and close protection driving home study programmes.

Although historically the number of women bodyguards entering the close protection world has hovered at around 2% during the last 15 years, with a 3 year spike of 7% during 1998 to 2001, it appears that the protective service industry is witnessing another increase in the number of women bodyguards enrolling on close protection training courses in order to secure lucrative bodyguards jobs.

Bodyguard Work and Bodyguards Jobs

Although in relation to the close protection world, the main media focus always seeks to sensationalise bodyguard work and bodyguards jobs in war zone regions like Afghanistan and Iraq.

However, every time a significant security issue materialises in one of these war zone regions it causes a ripple effect which quickly flows around the word.

The April 2010 attempted assassination of the British Consulate in Yemen sent more of a security Tsunami, rather than a security ripple around the world. Once again organised terrorists attempted to execute a high profile target. The end result is that security risk levels were raised around the world.

While this is not a pleasant occurrence, it does have a positive effect on professional Bodyguards seeking well paid high risk bodyguard work and bodyguards jobs.

In reality this security ripple effect opens up a great many opportunities worldwide for the more professional Bodyguards. For example one bombing of a building in Africa led to me training security drivers from a US Embassy in Norway.

If you consult any close protection forum you will likely be advised that In order to get your foot on the ladder to highly paid bodyguard work, and bodyguards jobs you have to have graduated from some of the most professional close protection training courses and/or close protection driving programmes available.

Never lose sight of the fact that my key emphasis in my previous sentence is on the word, ‘professional.’

Close Protection Training Courses

As previously mentioned, the close protection world and industry has changed significantly in the last few years. September the 11th raised the security bar, and the bench mark for all professional close protection training courses.

Virtually all the cowboy security companies offering false hope to aspiring bodyguards by virtue of offering them free bodyguard training and guaranteed bodyguard work if they signed up for less than useless close protection training have been eradicated in the UK.

Note I stated ‘virtually all’, sadly some unscrupulous security owners still strive to find ways of scamming prospective Bodyguards out of their hard earned finances.

Most contemporary close protection training courses focus on reality based training because they understand that their trained Bodyguards now require this form of training for their high risk bodyguards jobs.

Any Bodyguards paying for even the cheapest bodyguard training course should look for reality based scenarios because this offers you two added value benefits.

The first is that you will know for sure that your bodyguard instructor, or close protection driving Instructor knows how to professionally train you for high and extremely high risk protective service operations.

Second, although there is no such concept of 100% security, you will be better prepared for when your VIP client comes under threat from a professional terrorist group or organised crime gang.

Be advised, close protection training courses designed specifically for bodyguard work and bodyguards jobs can be as broad as they are long.

Never lose sight of the fact that every one of the close protection training courses you see advertised are run by a managing director or a sole trader owner of a security business. As such their main priority is to make a profit.

While I have no objection to any business owner making a profit, I do balk when another cowboy security owner hits the close protection circuit and places profit above the low quality security training they offer aspiring Bodyguards.

Cheapest Bodyguard Training Course

Imagine you are going to invest eight to ten thousand UK pounds, or fifteen thousand US dollars into training for a new career, and you realise it was going to take you up to two years to graduate because you have to hold down a full time job to pay for your training fees and expenses.

Now imagine you are uncertain that this career change into the close protection industry is the right move. Wouldn’t it make financial and common sense to try a low cost investment to see if the industry is for you?

Of course it would, and this is one of the added benefits of enrolling in the cheapest bodyguard training course on the market.

The cheapest bodyguard training course is available in six different 12 month training programmes at under one hundred and fifty UK pounds or 250 US dollars per one year programme. Home study has both added value and residual value benefits.

For example the cheapest bodyguard training course allows you the benefit of studying at your own pace which is critical if you are working full time. It’s also a lifelong security resource manual. It can be supplied in a hard paper format, or in a Computer CD-Rom format which allows you to study during your work down time.

No other close protection training courses offer these tangible benefits. The cheapest bodyguard training course is not gender specific, so it is a fantastic resource for women bodyguards seeking bodyguard work.

Clearly all Bodyguards will recognise that you can’t possibly teach all aspects of the close protection world via a home study programme.

However what it can teach you is up to 50% of the entire close protection officer training curriculum, i.e. the technical classroom subjects.

This means if you are a savvy investor in your training, you won’t have to spend extortionate fees for the technical aspects typically covered during expensive residential close protection training programmes.

A search for a particular close protection forum will no doubt inform you that the cheapest bodyguard training course is the next best thing to a free bodyguard training programme. Especially if it produced by industry leading experts.

With a large number of people going to personal fitness trainers to help them with their exercising routines, personal training is becoming a lucrative business. This is evident from the fact that a number of fitness training centres are employing the services of personal trainers for their clients. Hence, those aspiring to become personal fitness trainers need to go for the right personal training course. This calls for identifying the institutions and other coaching centres where these courses are being offered.

The job of a personal trainer involves helping his clients with their exercising routine. A personal trainer ensures that his clients do not get bored with their exercising routine and so, he must try and make the exercises more interesting and keep on motivating them to continue with their exercising routines. He should plan out the fitness routine in such a way that his customers gain a lot from it.

However, to be successful in this venture, you have to be properly trained as a personal fitness trainer. The most important thing in this regard is to find out the right institution that offers just the personal training course that one is looking for. Before you can go for the course, you should plan your finances properly.  It all depends on the institution that you plan to attend.

To locate the institution where such courses are offered you could either log onto the internet or keep looking for admission notices in various newspapers. If you are  to succeed as a personal trainer, the focus should always be on the personal training course offered by reputed universities and colleges. You should also ensure that the college or academy that you are  planning to attend runs a degree that is recognized by the government.

You also have to identify which courses are genuine. For this purpose, you should know beforehand what the essentials of a personal training course are, and whether the course that you are planning to attend offers training in these aspects or not. An ideal personal training course offers instruction in diet, athletic work-outs and sports psychology.

There is no point in attending courses which are not recognized by the government. Such courses will not lead you anywhere. However, there are institutes of good repute that also offer online personal training courses. Some of the academies also offer personal training course on CDs and DVDs, while a few others may also release books and guides about the course.

To master various exercises and subjects related to the personal training course you should have access to equipment such as a TV, DVD players, internet, etc. You could also enroll as the helper of a master personal trainer in the top gyms in the city. This would give you the required exposure you need to the challenges faced by a personal trainer, giving you first-hand experience of how to tackle them well.

Many people take courses to train for specific skills or accomplishments to do with work or even hobbies. Sometimes they take a course in order to gain a promotion at their workplace; other times they may want to change to a different type of job altogether and need to do training in order to gain employment in that area.

Courses are many and varied and can be anything from aged care courses in sydney, to computer training courses in sydney; ohs training in sydney to training and assessment. Courses can be on campus or through distance education, but wherever they are done from it is important that such courses are accredited.

The best accredited courses offer professional training and all the information in them has been written up by those who are accredited and trained, with lots of hands on experience in the field.

How do courses become accredited? Each industry has a national accrediting body or board that the course must be examined by. A registered training organization must deliver the course to this body who are cognisant of the Australian Qualifications Framework requirements. Any course offered for accreditation must comply with specific national standards and there must not be any other course available by which people can train for the same thing.

So when you take that computer training course in Sydney, any taa course or ohs training in Sydney, if it is an accredited course you can have peace of mind in knowing that you are getting the best instruction available and that your certificates will be recognized anywhere in Australia.

Since it takes a lot of effort to study and pass a training course, make sure your course is accredited and then your efforts will not have been in vain. TAFE, tech colleges and universities are places where you can be sure that your courses are accredited.
