Leadership & Management
Certified Green Project Manager
A five-day programme that prepares project managers to build environmental performance into delivery — impact assessment, carbon measurement, green procurement, environmental risk and verifiable sustainability reporting.
Introduction
Every project consumes resources and produces waste, and a project manager who ignores that leaves cost and risk unmanaged. The Certified Green Project Manager Training Course prepares project leaders to embed environmental performance into planning, delivery, and closure. Participants learn to apply green project management principles, measure carbon and resource impacts, and build sustainability criteria into procurement and design decisions. Furthermore, the course covers lifecycle assessment, green procurement, and environmental risk. In addition, it addresses reporting against standards and stakeholder expectations. As a result, participants return able to deliver projects that meet cost, schedule, and environmental goals together.
Certified Green Project Manager Course Objectives
- Apply green project management principles to the project lifecycle.
- Conduct environmental impact assessments for project planning.
- Measure carbon footprint using the GHG Protocol scopes.
- Apply lifecycle thinking and whole-cost analysis to project decisions.
- Build sustainability criteria into procurement and specification.
- Manage environmental risk using registers and mitigation plans.
- Apply ISO 14001 and ISO 20121 principles to project practice.
- Evaluate green project outcomes with appropriate performance indicators.
- Report environmental performance to sponsors and stakeholders.
- Build a personal green project management development plan.
Course Methodology
- Instructor-led sessions linking green principles to project delivery practice.
- Practical exercises in environmental assessment and carbon calculation.
- Case studies of green projects across construction, service, and public sectors.
