The Consulting Skills for Project Managers seminar takes place either as a face-to-face or live online seminar.

• Live online seminar: Start is at 8:30 am, end around 5:30 pm.
• Face-to-face seminar: The seminar starts at 9:00 a.m. on the first day and at 8:30 a.m. on the following days. The seminar usually ends at 17:30, on the last day at 17:00.

There is a lunch break and flexible breaks in between – depending on the exercise situation and the motivation of the group.

All formats are interactive, practical and include many concrete exercises:

• Live online seminar: You work on exercises in small groups via MS Teams, use Miroboard, AI tools, Slido and other digital exercise formats.
• Classroom seminar: In bright and friendly seminar rooms, you will work on exercises in small groups, experience a wide range of practical examples and have space to exchange experiences. The atmosphere is collegial, structured and open to your specific questions.

The group size is deliberately kept small to allow for personal support, intensive practice and targeted feedback. This means you benefit from individual feedback and practical implementation.
