Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Failing to build a reliable forecast budget leaves companies exposed to frequent cost overruns.

  • Studies show that 65% of projects exceed their initial budget due to unreliable forecasts.

  • This situation undermines profitability and damages team credibility with finance leadership.

  • Novice project managers see their careers stalled by repeated budget-control failures.

  • Anticipate these risks by enrolling in a recognized certification program.

Program

Module 1Theme: Development of the Forecast Budget (Excel, cost estimation, deliverables)

Participants discover the fundamentals of forecast budgeting applied to project management. They practice data collection, identification of expense items, and building an initial model in Excel. Real company cases allow estimating human and material resources. Each learner produces a summary table deliverable at the end of the day.

Module 2Theme: Construction and Validation of the Forecast Budget (PMI methods, adjustments, deliverables)

The day is dedicated to applying PMI and Prince2 methods to make forecasts reliable. Participants incorporate risks, provisions, and alternative scenarios into their forecast budget. Practical exercises on real projects allow adjusting assumptions. A complete deliverable including explanatory notes is produced in pairs.

Module 3Theme: Monitoring and Adjustment of the Forecast Budget (dashboards, reporting, deliverables)

Learners learn to steer the forecast budget during the project. They create dynamic dashboards and progress reports tailored to decision-makers. Budget variance simulations strengthen steering reflexes. Each participant finalizes a complete file ready to be presented in the company.

Evaluation method

  • Knowledge validation quizzes at the end of each day
  • Production and presentation of the final forecast budget
  • Self-assessment of acquired skills

Learning method

  • Structured budget construction methodology
  • Advanced use of Excel for forecasts
  • Integration of PMI and Prince2 best practices

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
