About us

Like many of the great innovators who inspire us, we're quietly making a difference on every continent in the world, including Antarctica.

What we do

We train and certify individuals in project management careers.

We also work extensively with government, private and not-for-profit partners to create job-ready skills where they're needed, facilitate best practice in project leadership, and mentor professional project managers working on a fascinating array of projects.

Bringing projects to life involves problem solving, imagination and flexibility. You'll seldom find the best solution thinking inside the box.

It's ethical and leads to better outcomes. We do our best to see that reflected in our team, our teaching style and our alumni.
