About this course

Why This Course

Risk, quality and procurement are often treated as separate disciplines in project management training. In practice, they are deeply interdependent. A procurement decision shapes your risk exposure. A quality failure often originates in a risk that was not identified early enough. A supplier relationship determines whether quality standards are met consistently. This course treats all three as an integrated control system, which is how successful project managers actually manage them.

Participants will develop structured approaches to risk identification, assessment and mitigation, apply established quality management frameworks including TQM and Six Sigma to project delivery, and build practical capability in procurement planning, contract negotiation and supplier management. Throughout, the course incorporates how AI-driven risk tools and digital procurement platforms are changing practice in each of these areas.

This course is derived from LIBT's Postgraduate Diploma in Project Management, which holds APM Recognised Assessment status under Pathway 2 for the Chartered Project Professional (ChPP) designation. Participants wishing to pursue the full ChPP pathway may progress to the complete diploma through LIBT's structured academic route.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course relevant to project managers who do not manage procurement directly?
Yes. Even where procurement is handled by a specialist function, project managers are responsible for defining requirements, managing supplier performance and escalating contract issues. Understanding procurement governance and contract risk is essential for any project manager delivering complex initiatives.
How technical is the Six Sigma content?
The course covers Six Sigma DMAIC from a project quality governance perspective, focusing on practical application rather than statistical programming. Participants will learn to apply the framework to project quality problems without requiring a statistical or engineering background.
Can this course be delivered for our organisation's project and procurement teams?
Yes. LIBT offers bespoke in-house delivery for corporate clients, with risk scenarios, quality frameworks and procurement case studies contextualised to your organisation's sector, supplier base and contract environment. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
