Lots! We don’t do training by the hour, but we do offer coaching via Teams on an hourly basis. You can book these as a one-off for £320 just to pick Jeremy’s brains about an issue you have with your project. You could also use it as a refresher for a course you’ve recently completed with us, or to focus on one area of PM such as risk management.

But, by far the best way to book is in blocks of 5 for £300 a session, or a block of 10 which is £280 per session. With the block bookings you can use the sesions any way you like – an intensive course for one member of your team or share the love and give several members of your team a couple of sessions each. Use all your sessions in one month, spread them out over a year, it’s totally up to you.

We’ll invoice you for the full block after your first session and then you’re free to use them whenever suits you, we’re flexible folk. We might send you a reminder every now and then if we think you’ve forgotten so that you don’t waste your investment, but otherwise you’re the captain of the ship.

Loads! Our one-day project management fundamentals course called Practical Project Management – Rising Star covers all the basics including our Six Key Principles of Project Management (Vision, Benefits, Objectives, Time, Cost & Quality), defining your project scope, the project team – who should and shouldn’t be involved, and building your project schedule.

A one-day course costs £1,980 (plus travel expenses if you’re outside of London/the M25) for up to 12 delegates. It’s great for grounding non-PM staff in the project management mindset, and for giving new PMs (and seasoned ones) practical techniques to set your project up for success and get everyone speaking the same language. For a deeper knowledge of how to run your projects and fix issues along the way we recommend our 2- or 3-day courses, they’re corkers.

A huge amount! Our two-day course Practical Project Management – Shining Star covers all of the good stuff in the one-day course plus an intro to risk management, a project governance overview, project comms, and how to run a successful project. It is our most popular course by far.

This course gives you a comprehensive practical guide to setting up and running a project, hitting your milestones, dealing with issues when they arise and communicating effectively with stakeholders. Delegates will leave feeling confident and fired up to handle their projects with style using our free templates and checklists for reporting, budgeting and risk management, and with our handy lesson notes as a reminder of the techniques we’ve discussed.

A two-day course costs £3,560 (plus expenses outside of London/the M25) for up to 12 delegates. Lots of our clients like to use the 2-day course as a practical intro for all their new staff to set everyone off on the right foot and make sure all their PMs are singing from the same song sheet.

A tremendous amount! Our 3-day Practical Project Management – Super Star course covers EVERYTHING you need to know about running projects and making them successful.

After setting you up for project success with the first two days of the course, we use the third day to deepen your knowledge so you can anticipate problems and fix them before they become issues. We cover change management, managing project costs and how to manage multiple projects. Then we round the day off with a workshop so that your team can start to see how some of our techniques can work in practice.

Some people think that a steaming cup of Horlicks gives you a great night’s sleep, but we’re positive that really knowing your project management shizzle gives you a lot more happy zzzs.  A three-day course costs £5,340 (plus expenses outside of London/the M25) for up to 12 delegates.

Jeremy wrote a book, get him! The Everyday Project Manager was published in 2020 by Routledge Press and was a labour of love. Having spent much of his project management career training and mentoring new PMs, Jeremy decided to write down everything he’d taught and learnt along the way, and the book was born!

The book is an easy-to-read practical guide to project management, and some people have even said some nice things about it on Amazon. You can buy a copy directly from us here, or from book shops. You can also add books to your training package at a discount if you’d like to provide one for each of your team to read after their course.

You can see our full list of courses and pricing here, but the costs in short are:

All of our courses within the UK are subject to VAT. We charge for the expenses we incur when we need to travel outside of London/the M25 e.g. train fare, hotels. We review our costs every couple of years and sometimes change our prices then, but if we’ve sent you a proposal then the price we’ve quoted is valid for three months from the date of the proposal.

We do! And we’d love to coach you. Please see What can I learn in an hour? above for more info.

Jeremy does, and his conference presentations go down an absolute storm!

If you’d like to book Jeremy for your event please feel free to get in touch. He can deliver inspiring speeches or create a training session specific to your audience, whatever works best.

That’s great! Our courses do not do the same thing as, well, pretty much any other qualification out there. If you’ve got Prince2 you’ll know that it provides a framework for delivering projects. However, what we provide are the practical skills and takeaways that you will use every day when it comes to actually delivering your projects.

But don’t take our word for it. Jordan took our course and had this to say about it in his Trustpilot review:

“After completing the APMFQ last year, I was concerned the Everyday PM Fundamentals course would repeat the content. I was wrong. This course teaches you everything that course doesn’t. A real life, working day look at what it is to be a Project Manager, complete with the challenges, best practice and watch outs.”

Our aim is to take what you’ve learnt on other PM courses and turn it into properly useful, actionable, day-to-day skills.

Whilst the vast majority of our training is done in person with groups of up to 12 people, we do occasionally offer open online courses.

These courses are instructor-led and cover four different modules, with a different module being covered at the same time each week over the course of four weeks. Our instructor is an experienced PM so will also be able to respond to questions as they arise. We work hard, as well, to ensure that the training is as interactive as possible – it’s a tough ask to watch a screen with someone just talking at you, so there are guided exercises along the way to keep you engaged.

We’re afraid not. We’ve tried it, it just doesn’t work unfortunately. It’s no good for the people at home who miss the banter in the room and can’t always see or hear clearly, and it steals our trainer’s focus from the people in the room when he’s trying to make sure that everyone at home can see and hear.

If you’ve got one staff member who can’t make it on the day, or several staff members who work abroad, then give us a call and we can work out a solution, but hybrid training is not the one.

We are, so that means we’ll need to charge VAT on all of our training and coaching sessions within the UK. But as books are VAT exempt, there won’t be VAT added to your book purchases.

Our VAT number is 429693747.

We do indeed! You’ll often find Jeremy schlepping up and down the UK to get our good word out to the masses – we don’t want anyone to miss out on project management excellence.

We can also offer training abroad, but we charge an additional £700 to the total bill which covers our additional expenses and time taken to travel.

We LOVE monkeys! We really do. We used to sponsor a chimpanzee (an ape not a monkey, we know, we know… but you know, monkey adjacent..) called Seamus at Monkey World in Dorset. We had monkeys on our wedding cake and invitations, our children answer when we shout “Monkey!”, and when there’s an option on a social media post to use a monkey instead of a bullet point, why wouldn’t you?! 🐒

This one is all Jeremy, don’t ask Louise, she’ll just make the egg all stringy and weird and then chuck it away and fry an egg instead. But Jeremy insists that the best method for a quick, single poached egg is as follows:

• Get a pan of water boiling. Add a generous splash of white wine vinegar.
• Nigella recommends cracking the egg into a tea strainer to get rid of all the stringy bits but this seems like unnecessary faff to me.
• Give the water a vigorous swirl and crack the egg into the swirling water.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes before removing the egg and blotting on a tea-towel.
• Serve it up!

If you’re cooking more than one poached egg and have a bit more time to spare (at least 15 minutes), this clip from Epicurious that I came across recently, tells you everything you need to know for perfect poached eggs.
