We provide a large range of standard workshops as well as 90+ topic modules which you can mix and match for in-house trainings for businesses and managers that want to improve their project management skills or their team skills. We also provide public courses that gather managers and team members from different companies in a safe and friendly environment. VIRAK offers the well-known and successful preparation courses for the PMP® and CAPM® certifications of the Project Management Institute (PMI)®.
We ensure that the course content clearly targets the needs of the participants, that they learn quickly and are ready to apply their new knowledge and self-awareness as soon as they are back in the work environment. We believe that if participants are enjoying themselves, are interacting and are actively participating, then they will be much more likely to achieve this goal.

Many businesses and project managers are faced with a choice of choosing a traditional plan-driven approach (or what is sometimes called “Classical" or “Waterfall”) or a more Agile approach for their projects. This can be a very important decision with significant business impact. Sometimes that requires blending the two approaches together in the right proportions to fit the situation to get the best of both worlds. It takes more skill to do that and this workshop will help you achieve this.
