Project management.
Made coherent.
A comprehensive, self-paced multimedia course based on ISO 21502. Follow the logic of a project from its initial purpose and business case through initiation, planning, execution, control and closing — supported by animated explanations, exercises and regular knowledge checks.
Watch.
Check. Apply.
Project management is not a collection of isolated techniques. This course builds a connected understanding of the practices, decisions and interdependencies involved in managing a project. The learning format combines short graphical video explanations with exercises and quizzes.
See the logic
Short animated explanations show how a project moves through its life cycle and how management practices relate to each other.
Check understanding
Lesson-specific quizzes help learners detect gaps early, repeat material where necessary and consolidate each topic.
Build capability
Exercises connect concepts with project decisions, providing a foundation for independent application and further practice.

This introductory video explains the self-paced learning method: short visual lessons introduce project management practices, while exercises and lesson quizzes help learners test and consolidate their understanding.
The concept video explains the approach; the sample lesson shows the actual course environment. The standalone multimedia course can also provide a foundation for separately arranged case-study work or simulation.

From concepts
to good decisions.
ISO 21502 offers guidance for project management across organisations, project types and delivery approaches. The course uses that common structure to connect choices and management actions throughout the project life cycle.
Decide.
Deliver.A common project management language across roles and approaches.
Useful for individual professional development and as preparation for applied group learning.
One standard.
Many contexts.
The course is relevant to people managing projects and those preparing to take on responsibility. The related Action Learning programme also identifies university study, continuing education and corporate learning as possible contexts.
Project managers
Organise practices into a coherent approach, independent of project size or delivery method.
Project team members
Understand project purpose, planning choices, responsibilities and effective coordination.
Students & professionals
Establish a structured foundation for academic learning or professional development.
Organisations
Give groups a shared conceptual basis before collaborative case work or simulation.
Stand-alone learning.
Or part of more.
The multimedia course is available as a self-paced learning component in its own right. It may also be integrated into a broader Action Learning architecture combining guided case-study work, coaching and a separate project simulation. Those additional components are optional programme arrangements, not automatically included in the standalone e-learning course.
- Study independently, wherever you have suitable internet access.
- Use animated explanations to understand project management practices.
- Consolidate learning through exercises and lesson quizzes.
- Repeat lessons as needed and check learning progress.
- Combine with a guided case study or project simulation if arranged.
- Discuss group delivery and optional pathways through Learnplace.
One foundation.
Two learning formats.
The multimedia course is the e-learning form of Project Management Fundamentals. Both follow the same ISO 21502-based approach to managing the complete project life cycle; the online edition presents it through animated lessons, exercises and learning checks.
Project Management Fundamentals — ISO 21502
Understand the principles, connect the decisions and apply the methods. The book develops a coherent approach to initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing projects, using a continuous practical case to reveal how decisions and techniques relate across the life cycle.
The corresponding multimedia course presents this book’s learning content as self-paced e-learning with visual explanations, exercises and quizzes. It is an alternative instructional format, not a different subject or an unrelated companion programme.
