Project Management Trainer

Project management skills are essential across almost every industry. From construction and engineering to IT and corporate environments, organisations rely on effective project management to deliver results on time and within budget.
As demand for structured project delivery increases, so does the need for experienced professionals who can train others in project management principles and practices.
If you have experience managing projects, leading teams, or working within structured frameworks, becoming a project management trainer allows you to turn that experience into a flexible and scalable career. You don’t need to be a qualified teacher to get started. The first step is the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET).

What Does a Project Management Trainer Do

A project management trainer delivers training that helps individuals and teams improve how they plan, manage, and deliver projects. This typically includes:
• Delivering structured training sessions and workshops
• Explaining project management frameworks and tools
• Using real-life project scenarios to support learning
• Supporting learners to apply concepts in the workplace
• Assessing learners where qualifications are involved
Many trainers also design bespoke programmes tailored to organisational needs.

'Transitioning into teaching and assessing was driven by my passion for education and desire to give back to the industry. It's fulfilling to mentor aspiring project managers and see them thrive in their careers.'

Success Stories

Embark on a rewarding journey from project management to shaping the next generation of project leaders. Our Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) has been a gateway for professionals seeking to transition their expertise into a career in teaching and assessing. Below are two success stories from our alumni who have made this leap, along with insights into other qualifications you could assess, the requirements for each, and a comprehensive FAQ section.

Erin Kirk

Erin, a dynamic professional with a decade of experience in IT project management, sought a career that combined her passion for project management with a desire to mentor and educate the next generation. Despite her extensive industry experience, Emily lacked formal qualifications in education and assessment, which were crucial for a career shift to teaching and assessing in a college setting.

Erin enrolled in the Level 3 Award in Education and Training followed by the Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA). These courses provided her with the essential skills and qualifications needed to transition into an educational role. The courses covered key areas such as planning and delivering instructional sessions, assessing learners in a work environment, and understanding principles of assessment.

Upon completion, Erin successfully transitioned to a role as a project management assessor in a well-respected college. She now plays a pivotal role in shaping the curriculum and assessing the competency of students in project management courses. Her unique blend of industry experience and educational qualifications has made her an invaluable asset to the college. Erin's students have consistently achieved high pass rates, and she has been recognised for her innovative teaching methods and deep engagement with her students.

Ruby Roberts

Ruby with over 15 years of experience in construction project management, wanted to leverage her expertise to train and assess the next wave of professionals in the industry. Ruby's extensive practical experience in construction project management was undeniable, but she needed formal educational credentials to move into a role assessing apprenticeships in a private training provider.

Ruby pursued the Level 3 Award in Education and Training and the Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA), which equipped her with the necessary skills in pedagogy and assessment. These programs enabled her to understand the learning needs of apprentices and the methods of effectively assessing their skills and knowledge.

After completing her qualifications, Ruby secured a position with a leading private training provider, specialising in assessing apprentices in construction project management. Her combination of real-world experience and formal training qualifications has been instrumental in providing high-quality assessments. Ruby has developed a reputation for her hands-on approach and ability to connect theory with practical application, greatly enhancing the learning experience of her apprentices. Her contributions have led to increased pass rates and higher apprenticeship completion rates within the program.

My traning:L3 AET

Matthew provides a very high standard of education and training. The course included useful real-life examples, key studies and practical knowledge, which made learning easier and more meaningful.

The training was delivered partly online and partly through webinars, which worked really well. I never felt alone during the course and felt like I was attending real classes with support throughout. The PowerPoint presentations were clear, helpful and easy to follow.

Matthew is approachable, supportive and easy to communicate with. The website is well organised and easy to use.

One thing to be aware of is that the final session/conversation after completing the training was recorded. We were informed that the recording was for internal purposes only and would not be shared with other studentsot other patties.

Overall, I would highly recommend this training.

Y D Jadeja

I researched a lot and got in touch with many service providers before joining ETA for my Level 5 DiT. It has been an amazing experience completing my Level 5 Diploma in Teaching with ETA. The tasks are super organised, the online material is easy to follow and online portal is very structured.

A big thanks to Matt, who has been phenomenal throughout my learning journey. He has been very supportive and encouraging. I’ve asked hundreds of questions and Matt has always been patient to answer them.

My suggestion to anyone thinking about joining ETA is, just go for it! Stay in touch with Matt because his support and guidance make a huge difference.

Once again, a massive thank you to Matt and the whole ETA team for their support.

Andrew Cumiskey

Matthew provided prompt support and a wide range of resources to help me achieve the qual.

Josh Crossley

I would like to give my sincere thanks to Matt, my Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training tutor, for the outstanding support he provided throughout my qualification. From the very beginning, Matt was approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. He explained complex concepts clearly, provided constructive and timely feedback, and always encouraged me to reflect and improve my practice.
Whenever I faced challenges or needed reassurance, Matt was patient and supportive, offering practical guidance that helped me stay motivated and confident in my abilities. His teaching style made the course engaging and manageable, and his commitment to high standards pushed me to achieve my best work.
Thanks to Matt’s guidance and encouragement, I successfully completed my qualification and feel well prepared to progress in my teaching career. I am extremely grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone undertaking the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training.

Aleksandra Misztela

A professional, reliable training provider that I’d confidently recommend!
Genuinely one of the smoothest learning experiences I’ve had.
The communication stood out straight away - quick responses, clear guidance, and always helpful when I needed support. You don’t feel left guessing at any stage, which makes a big difference.
The platform itself is very straightforward to use. Everything is laid out clearly, with all the information you actually need to pass.
The whole process of getting certified felt well organised and stress-free. If you put the work in, passing quickly is absolutely achievable.

Thank you

Sarah Waylett

I would recommended Education and Training to complete a qualification. I have recently completed my EQA knowledge as a self directed course and found it very beneficial . The course enabled me to access the information that I required and support was available when I needed it.

Jimmy Adkins

I’ve just completed my Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment with The Education and Training Academy, and the experience has been outstanding. Matt has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire course. His friendly, approachable manner made the learning process genuinely enjoyable, and his feedback was always clear, informative, and constructive. I learned so much thanks to the way he explained things and guided me through each stage.

The support I received has been exceptional, and I’ve already recommended the course to several people including my wife, who works in early years within an SEN setting because the quality of teaching and feedback has been second to none.

Thank you, Matt, for all your hard work and for making this such a positive and confidence building journey.

I recently completed the Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment and Processes and Practice, and I couldn’t recommend this course highly enough. The training was clear, engaging, and very well structured. Starting with an interactive webinar gave me a strong foundation and made the learning experience enjoyable from the outset. The support throughout was excellent, and the course content was practical and relevant to real-world IQA responsibilities. It has helped me build confidence in my role, and I was even able to design and deliver a standardisation meeting as part of my learning. A fantastic course for anyone looking to develop their IQA skills and knowledge.

Lee Walker

I highly recommend the Education and Training Academy to anyone starting their journey in teaching, or looking to gain a solid foundation in education. A great investment in my professional development!

One-to-one meetings and feedback opportunities are readily available, making the learning experience both supportive and personalised. For anyone aiming to deepen their understanding of IQA this course provides a solid foundation and meaningful development opportunities.

Grant Marshall

A really good overall experience with lots of material and support to get my qualifications.

nicola whitby

Both of my children required their Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications for college, and we were fortunate to come across this company. The course material was extremely thorough and informative. From the very first message, the team was incredibly helpful, supportive, and understanding, guiding us through every step of the process right up to the completion of their exams. Their responsiveness has been outstanding, with emails answered within just a few hours, and they consistently go above and beyond to provide the best support possible. I have already recommended their services to others seeking the same qualifications and will continue to do so with confidence. Thank you for your ongoing support and professionalism.

Krupa Jobanputra

Dean Lowdon

I took the Level 4 IQA course and the materials and support provided help me to complete it in a timely fashion.

Kirsty Turnbull

Great online training provider.. I would definitely recommend. I found this company online as well as some others. Having already started a similar online qualification with another company a couple of years ago The Education and Training Academy were significantly better (reasons below)....

I spoke first of all to Matt as I was unsure which was the best course for me. He was very helpful and give me honest and accurate advice on which was the best course to join.

I chose to do the online only version which was right for me, and found all the online videos and training material provided very helpful. As with all online training courses it can take a while to navigate around the platform but this one was fairly simple and easy to use once you had figured it out.

Communication overall was very good and I typically got quick and helpful emails/messages back. With the option to book online meetings if you need them, I did this once and found it helpful

I would definitely recommend this company and have already done this for two of my colleagues who want to do the same course

Stuart Williams

Completed my L4 EQA with with no issues and plenty of support when required.

john white

I would like to express my appreciation for the support I received while completing my EQA qualification. Your company provides high-quality training, and I found the tutor, Matt, to be both professional and approachable. To further enhance the learning experience, consider expanding on interactive elements in the training sessions. If you're looking to advance your professional development, I highly recommend the Education and Training Academy. Overall, it has been a valuable experience.

Sita Shah

The options to choose between a tutor lead course, online tutoring course and self-study course were really stand-out compared to most other training schools I looked into. This suited my requirements around other commitments and my preferred speed of study. In general the communication via the emails was reasonably quick with responses coming through within less than 5 days when asked. Only thing I found was a little misleading change of information or assessment requirements in my final few modules which I think should have been realistically updated on the online portals (I chose the self-study option). And the other thing I found a bit difficult was the microteach group sessions which were not as regular as I would have expected - however the option was provided to undertake a self micro-teach which (with a little luck) I was able to undertake eventually. Aside from this, the course content is thorough and helpful to all types of learners providing video footage, written text, regular assessments and portfolio requirements in an easy to access format via the online portal. Would recommend this course if you're in a hurry to qualify and looking for reasonable pricing structure. Thanks.

Adv vaishnavi devre

I would like to sincerely thank Matthew for his support throughout the course. He is an excellent trainer knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to provide guidance when needed.

Sinead Doyle

Fantastic company to complete my IQA course with, informative and supportive all the way through. Thank you!

claire Stanhope

Team have been amazing with support and quick to respond to questions and help when unsure of things.

Personally, from a dyslexic point of view the course book was at times a little confusing as was so busy. But this is my personal view point. And when I was stuck the team was there.

I would still recommend this course and think it is good for those that work in education

Ian Perkins

Having signed up for the AET with Education and Training Academy for the on line course the whole portal immediately appeared and access was straight forward . The portal was simplistic to navigate through and all of the material needed was available including books, lesson videos and all relevant portfolios. I was able to communicate with my teacher and the response was very quick and detailed. From a background with limited teaching experience the whole process was very interesting and informative and has given me confidence to move to the next level.
I would not hesitate in using ETA again for my next course.

Lisa Chamberlain

The Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment and Processes and Practice, delivered by the Education and Training Academy, is an accessible programme that offers a strong foundation in internal quality assurance.

Engagement from the office has been great and its really helped me achieve a qualification that can change my life. I cannot thank Matt and the team enough. I highly Highly recommend for anyone looking to increase their life goals!

Steve Lilley

I have spent the last 2 years working with Matthew from The Education and Training Academy. I've really enjoyed my journey and feel that i have noticed my deliver of teaching improve dramatically without having to think about it and making an effort. I think the lessons and coursework have impacted hugely on my subconscious teaching ability.

The Education and Training Academy is the 4th awarding body for teaching qualifications I have used over the past 13 years and for me the best one. Some of the others I have used previously I haven't had any support and not completed courses or struggled to get courses finished. Matthew has been available for support regularly, laid out clearly what's needed and delivered really good sessions.

I've decided that I want to complete my IQA and so I'm going to use the Education and training academy for that due to my experience on my level5 in education and training.

Gary Stanley

Just completed Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment. Really good course. Good training material. Course was well structured. Matt was a great tutor and managed to keep all learners captivated throughout.

Debbie Paradise

I recently completed my EQA qualification with Matthew and found the course to be well resourced and have all the information I needed to gain a thorough understanding of the processes of this role. The online recorded lessons which I could observe and take notes from aided my understanding and helped the beginning of my learning and the indepth information offered throughout enabled me to achieve enough knowledge to feel confident to begin work as an EQA. Thank you Matthew, much appreciated, Debbie
