The Industry School - Advanced Project Management Training

This comprehensive training is for individuals looking to enhance their project management skills beyond the fundamental level. It encompasses the techniques crucial to leading and attaining project success.

While project management methodologies, processes, and tools can be easily explained, executing a project can be challenging due to the human element involved.
To become a high-performing Project Manager, you must master leading and managing individuals and the various issues that may arise.

​We run this workshop in both an Open and In-house format:-

Open:
Our Open Workshop format is one of the most powerful aspects of our training offer. With a maximum of 12 participants, these live online sessions create a focused, friendly environment where you can connect with peers from a mix of agencies and brands. It’s a rare and valuable chance to step outside your own team and talk to people in similar roles—whether that’s strategy, client services, creative, or digital—and realise you're not alone in the challenges you face.

The beauty of the format lies in the shared experience. You’ll hear how others tackle the same dilemmas you're up against, from tricky client relationships to evolving briefs or team dynamics. Ideas are sparked, confidence grows, and by the end, you’ll leave not just with expert knowledge from our trainers, but with a sense of connection to a wider creative community facing the same pressures and opportunities as you.

In-house:
Our In-house Workshops format is ideal for brands and agencies looking to upskill larger teams with training that's completely aligned to their world. Delivered either in person or online, these sessions are tailored to your business—your goals, your challenges, your clients. It means the content lands deeper, feels more relevant, and drives immediate impact.
Running a workshop in-house also creates a unique space for your team to learn together, tackle shared issues, and build confidence as a group. Whether you're looking to sharpen creative thinking, improve briefing, or strengthen client relationships, the sessions become a springboard for bigger conversations and lasting change. Plus, with the flexibility to choose the date, format and location, this is training designed entirely around you.
