The Projects Group- sponsoring Overseas Project of the Year 

The Projects Group (TPG) has specialized in project and programme management training and education for over 20 years. Today, we offer individuals and organizations unique approaches to professional development, through the TPG Academy blended learning environment and the fully searchable, cross-referenced online knowledge management system, TPG Knowledge Base.

TPG Academy training offers an entirely modular approach to learning, covering all project and programme management requirements from a primer on a specific topic to a degree-level programme. All training methods are offered - choose from classroom, online, CD, paper based learning, or create a tailor-made combination! TPG Academy is not only ultimately flexible, but every topic studied becomes a credit towards a future course – saving money and making ‘lifelong learning’ goals much more achievable. Reaccreditation becomes straightforward too, as TPG Academy continually updates course materials and allows continued online access to these after study has been completed.

TPG Knowledge Base offers access to a wealth of expertise from industry experts – all cross-referenced with our Project and Programme Management Encyclopaedia. Articles, case studies, and templates are all included. An invaluable resource for any centre of excellence or community of practice.

When Adrian Dooley established the company in 1986, he committed that TPG would enable organizations and individuals to avoid wasting time and money through training that was either not needed, not effectively assessed or had been done before. These philosophies still lead the company today and this explains why many organizations have chosen TPG to lead their own corporate training ‘university’.

Today, training and support are available worldwide from TPG Academy franchises. Same courses, same guaranteed standards, same innovative solutions
