    Hi,

    Can't say anything about that course ( didn't even look at the link to be honest) but I'm doing a masters in PM by distance from UL. I'm based in the sticks but there is a group who operate out of dublin for tutorials and exams. Its tough going but very interesting.

    Alternatively, you could look at the Project Management Institute site for info on their CPMP and PMP titles depending on your experience. Pretty sure they can be done by distance but with a certain amount of class room learning, a lot of home study, an exam and of course a small fee! PMP is well recognised. might be an option for you.

    Sureskills run a Prince2 Project Management course, this is a good certification.

    I've used Sureskills in the pasy myself, PMP but be worth looking into as well.

    Hey there,
    I completed a Diploma course delivered through the Institute of Project Management of Ireland (IPMI) a couple of years ago; I found it very good, with some amazing lecturers from various industries. It also provided a platform to obtain International Project Management Association (IPMA) accreditation at Level D; however, if you have sufficient PM experience you can apply for Level C which I did, the application process is a bit longer and there`s a pretty stringent interview to get through. The course was run in the IMI in Sandyford which was very comfortable. One criticism that I would have is that the course was a little expensive (over 5k), but it did run, on select days, between October and March/April. But again, the lecturers were excellent. It also focus`s on preparation and fulfils the training criteria necessary for the PMP exam.
