​​​​​​This ILO Project Design Certification Programme has been my most detailed and intense project management training. It was an opportunity to start my project management learning journey afresh. The sequencing of the topics and assignments that followed every module meant I could immediately put to use the in-depth knowledge of project management fundamentals, terms and tools gained from the videos, readings and live sessions.

Project Design Certification Programme further built up on my knowledge of project’s design techniques and processes. Course’s staff were super helpful, ready to assist and answer any question I had. Every week, planned module had ready articles, webinars, lectures recap, forums and discussion sessions with tutors - hence variety of learning resources were available to students, allowing later to acquire and implement new knowledge at their jobs or similar. About the course, I especially like the fact, that students got an opportunity to write their own projects bit by bit and every week after completing scheduled module.

As part of the ITCILO Diploma in Project Management for Sustainable Development, I did two certificate courses - Project Design Certification & Certificate in Effective Project Management. I found the structure and content of both courses highly relevant and very valuable for my work in the development sector, especially for program monitoring and evaluation. In fact, since the time I completed the courses, I have been referring back to them to design and implement the programs that I am engaged in. 

The most beautiful part of the course however, is the real time interactions that you get with the course faculty and your classmates and its richness.

I would recommend the Diploma program to anyone who wants to enhance their development sector practice using professional project management methodologies and frameworks.

Enrolling in the project design certification programme is one of the best investment decisions I’ve made to develop myself professionally and gain clarity on the different aspects of a project life cycle. I look forward to converting my project document into a reality”. Cheers to the amazing team at ITCILO, who are thriving towards excellence!!

The program provided a very exciting, interactive and practical enhancement of my project management skillset. I was able to apply the acquired knowledge in real-time using the iterative learning modules to formulate a project proposal to extend of social security health insurance cover to poor and vulnerable in Zambia. This proposal has since been awarded the requisite funding and is currently in implementation mode.
