mbh is here to guide you

Over the past 15 years mbh have maintained contact with many of our mbh students, and just this week I was able to assist two past students with their project management careers.

With both students at opposite ends of the project management spectrum:

- one discussing a job application for a move from running projects to running a program management office

- the other to debrief on their first project and discuss the challenges they faced.

What does that mean to the mbh student ? 

If a student wants to continue to develop post classroom and actually take that step, then what better way to talk to those they know, who have taught them and assessed their work. Their facilitators understand their levels of project management maturity, get to know them and can provide direction to help them continue to grow and develop their project management practices.

Guidance, mentor ship, call it what you will, it provides mbh students a sounding board with links to traditional, new and the most appropriate project management practices for them to utilise, there are many shoes that fit!

mbh links to project management practitioners across a variety of industries, articles and books written by prominent project management professionals, knowledge of project management collaborative software, upcoming conferences, offers the students a range information they can access to expand their skills and knowledge and awareness of what is occurring within project management.

What does that mean for mbh

We are able to remain connected to our students, gain feedback from them, discuss their experiences, what works , what does not - open their eyes to new tools and techniques they can utilise in their working environments. mbh assist our students to develop their careers and continue to support them post classroom.

Student feedback is an important component, along with industry recommendations, mbh staff knowledge and experiences to continually refine our courses. This ensures the tools and new theories that are incorporated reflect what is actually required by practising professionals, not just those that are reflected in the competency standards.

What does that mean for me?

Guidance by the mbh team has been a major part of my own personal development- Guidance by the mbh team has been a major part of my own person development - November this year sees my 15 year work anniversary, I have beaten my usual 7 1/2 year itch, which was the length of time in my first two jobs. mbh has provided many challenges, both personally and professionally and I have been able to grow my own capability, and watch and share in our students growing theirs.

The fact students continue to connect with mbh whether they trained 10 or 2 years ago tells me that we got it right. Our passion comes through, the time we spend to support people in the classroom and throughout their assessment and beyond is valuable to all parties. It translates back to the workplace, our students earn their qualifications and we know they can apply the skills they have learnt instantly, improving their project planning and delivery, and ensuring those lessons learnt are shared.
