FAQ

The course.

Why should I do this course?

The GetSavi course is built upon over 20 years of professional experience in project leadership, sponsorship and management. Our GetSavi experts have managed literally hundreds of projects and are continually refining their approaches to real-life project scenarios.

You get access to all this expertise, guidance, advice and learning throughout the course. You get to learn how to manage real-life projects throughout use of scenarios. And of course, you get a recognised accreditation and a certificate you can boast about to your bosses, colleagues and friends. Finally, the course comes with over 35 vital project template documents that you will use for years after the project is completed.

How do I know this is the course for me?

The GetSavi course is designed for business people who are learning project management for the first time, or for those who have had some experience of managing projects, yet have no formal project training.

We found that most project management training available is dry and difficult to apply to the real world. That’s why we created a course that is scenario-based, using the actual stages of a project through your company as a relatable way of learning. The course also tackles the real issues that make the difference between success and failure – how to get the best out of the people in your organisation.

What if I have no experience in project management?

The good news is that no prior experience is required!

The GetSavi course assumes you have no prior project management experience, and all content will support you in running your first project.

If you already have some project management experience, you’ll still benefit from the in-depth explanations of what really matters at each stage, the focus on the people-side of projects, and on real-life project scenarios.

How long is the course?

The GetSavi course contains ten modules covering a total of approximately 7 hours of learning.

We recommend you space out your learning to give you the most benefit.

Of course, you could complete the course in a single day, but we suggest you will get the most from the course if you take the modules in bite-size pieces over multiple days, or longer.

The course is designed for busy people to fit into whatever else they are doing, so most learners will take the course at a pace that works for them, then come back to parts of it as they go through their actual real-world project.

Do I have to complete the course at a certain pace?

No, it’s completely up to you. The course covers 10 modules and 7 hours of learning. This means you could complete the course in as little as a day, but we recommend you give yourself time to reflect (and take a break!) between modules to get the most out of them.

Most learners cover the modules in bite-size pieces over multiple days, or longer if they want bigger gaps. The course is designed for busy people to fit into whatever else they are doing, you can take the course at a pace that works for you.

Do you offer trainers to help me with the course?

The GetSavi course has trainers built into the course itself, to provide guidance on every topic.

Although, the course is completely online and self-paced, we have created videos of the trainers to cover each topic in a way that is extremely engaging and easy to understand.

Our trainers have many years of experience and have delivered hundreds of projects, and are with you every step of the way through the course

Do I need to pass an exam to pass the course?

Yes, there is a formal assessment at the end of the course.

The course will take you through a series of interactive questions in a multiple choice and drag-and-drop format. These are designed to ensure you get the most out of the course.

 

You can retake the course as many times as you like within the licence period.  You can also retake the final formal assessment as many times as you like, but you will only be eligible for a certificate if you successfully pass this assessment.
