Having started classes in May and July 2017 respectively, they pass the last module out of seven modules comprising the training program. The participants have already made their choice between two options, which include PMP (Project Management Professional) Preparation and Negotiation Skills for Project Managers modules, BHOS said.
The PMP Exam Preparation module is conducted by Stratex's professional instructor Didier Estibal, and Negotiation Skills for Project Managers is conducted by George Sifry. The former module, which lasts four days, focuses on the topics relating to project, time, quality, budget, labor, risk, and communication management and a test exam on these topics. The latter module allows the participants to learn how to use advanced methods of restoring frozen negotiations, using competitive and collective negotiation strategies, carrying out effective negotiable skills for effective cost and graphic implementation, and to develop collaborative relationships and management strategies which are crucial for the projects.
The participants of the SPM's two groups include senior managers of BHOS, SOCAR, BP, Pasha Insurance, Atlantic Waves Solutions, Pasha Holding, Pasha Life Insurance, Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population, SOCAR Polymer, Azersu, Worley Parsons, CNFA and CBMC.
