Fast-track, Team-based Course through Multimedia Distance Learning (MDL)

The fast-track course covers slightly fewer aspects than the MDL Short Course in Project Management, but is more intensive. The study material is the same as for the MDL short course (except that there is, of course, a different study guide). The most important principles and techniques have been selected for the syllabus, and incorporated into a one-day group study session (using the study guide, and prescribed textbooks and DVDs), followed by a short group exercise assignment, and a final group examination assignment (based on two or more case studies).

Each student is awarded a certificate upon successful completion of the course. The certificate states that the student has successfully completed the team-based MDL course in 'Project Management', and, where the group achieves a distinction, this is clearly so indicated on the certificate. (Note that, whereas completion of the PM Short Course will provide 20 credits towards the Advanced Diploma in Project Management, you will be required to undertake an additional individual exam after completion of the fast-track course to be so credited.)

The course is available to any group of two to six persons in any country. You may register online at any time. You must kindly register around the same time, and must indicate who your prospective teammate/s is/are and who the team coordinator is. 

The general international fee for 2012 is £535.00 (this includes all materials, online support, assessments and examination, and courier to the team coordinator’s door). Persons based in Africa may pay the lower all-inclusive fee of R4845.00. For further information on the contents of the course, please see the full Cranefield Prospectus.
