SCOs for practitioners

This certified training offers a journey through the entire project life cycle (PLC) with SCOs (Simplified cost Options). The training requires a bit of study and preparation at home, several self-organised team meetings, participation in up to 5 interactive online meetings, and your attendance at a two-day in-person meeting. The two-day meeting is all about working in small groups; exchanging, discussing and learning in different settings to solve tasks related to SCOs along the PLC. You will act in different roles to better understand the perspectives and interests of the parties involved in developing and implementing an SCO system. Yes, there is a bit of a roleplay because we believe that playful ways of learning are not only fun; they are also effective and efficient learning methods.

Who is it for? 

 This training might be interesting for you if:

• You have practical experience with SCOs because your programme is using a fair number of them  or/and you’d like to understand more about them;
• You have completed our Certified Training on SCO foundations, and you now want to go beyond that;
• Your new role in your job requires a broad knowledge and understanding of SCOs.

Overall learning objective
