Ø INTRODUCTION |
|
Project managers have much to think about—from project scope to team member dynamics, from schedule to cost constraints, from dealing with executive stakeholders to identifying future state requirements. This foundation course gives an applied and effective overview of project management and teaches techniques that will help you plan, implement, and complete projects of all sizes with desired results, on time and within budget. |
|
Ø Objectives |
|
At this program's conclusion, participants should be able to:
l To provide participants with technical know-how l To skills and approaches on odour assessment l To Understand odour control technology l To Understand odour emission sources l To monitoring and management. It will be conducted with a series of lectures and practical exercises. l Practical understanding and tools to help you address odour management problems in your workplace
