Training Courses

Aikona Academy training is one of the most flexible systems available, offering many different routes and learning methods to reach the same result. If you are unsure which course is the best for you, just contact our training advisors.

Primers
Primers are valuable for people new to areas of expertise, or for anyone who requires a subject overview. These are practical courses aimed at introducing specific areas of project and programme management skill.

Core Courses
Aikona Academy includes 7 Core Courses - 4 at foundation level and 3 advanced. These guarantee sound knowledge across the main principles of project management and also carry the basis for many different qualifications. Core Courses are valuable on their own, but are excellent as a base for a variety of qualifications.

Qualification Courses
Qualification-specific
These courses are ideal for those wishing to consolidate existing knowledge. Classroom courses tend to be more of a fast track,, but distance learning options are also available for those that need more flexibility.

Distance Learning
Distance learning modules are extremely comprehensive and provide a thorough grounding in the principles of project management. Those wishing to gain a qualification should review and consider both distance learning and Core Course routes.

    Benefits
    • Choose distance learning for complete flexibility covering when and how you study and the chance to learn at your own pace
    • Perhaps you need to update your knowledge in a few areas before beginning a classroom course? Then use distance learning to prepare
    • Where access to the web is not straightforward, CD or paper distance learning course materials may be a better option


Core Course Routes
Core Courses allow you to establish a core of knowledge and then supplement this to achieve different qualifications with minimal extra cost and effort.These can be studied through any combination of classroom and distance learning methods. All Aikona Academy course topics need only be studied once and can be credited towards future courses - particularly useful where reaccreditation applies. All qualification courses are accredited by the appropriate awarding body and are updated against the most current syllabus.

Basics
Aikona Academy Basics offers a cost effective route to first stage introductory qualifications. Provided on CD or online, these courses provide all the knowledge needed to pass the exam, together with mock papers and quizzes at the end of each topic studied. For those who are only seeking an appreciation of specific areas, Basics courses offer a useful introduction to the main processes and techniques of project management.
