    Hi,

    Does any one know of the existence of a qualification specifically for web project management (anywhere). All of the courses and certifications that I have found so far have either construction etc bias or software production bias - both of which only tell half the story when it comes to web production - as mentioned in the book. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Learning Tree International (Euston Square area- London) used to run a week long course in Project Management for the web. It is possible to customise these courses to target them more closely to the way your organisation deploys a project and the type of methodology used. However I think this flexibility is only possible if you book a course exclusively for your company. As an individual attending a mixed group the course will take a more generic approach.

    No idea about Australia Geoff, but the government backed NMK (New Media Knowledge) here in the UK run a lot of courses and focus in particular on Project Management in a New Media environment.

    I have not been on one myself so cannot testify to their quality but I have heard good things about them and they are not expensive. Possibly a little too basic level for some.

    Have a look at http://www.nmk.co.uk/courses/default.cfm for details on their courses. They also publish a free guide "Profitable Project Management" which is based on their course which would be worth having a look at. You can get this via e-mail at:
