Its main objectives included making the CGC personnel efficient to independently initiate a project, plan project work, develop project schedules, cost estimates and budgets, plan project quality, staffing and communications, analyse project risks and plan project procurement as well.

The training session provided an intense and interactive learning environment featuring case studies, lectures, readings, group discussions and course-end simulated exam.

It included the project management processes from initiation to planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing of a project, besides detailing on integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk and procurement to name a few.
