BLUEPRINT PROJECT CONTROLS TRAINING COURSES

Here at Blueprint, we’re thrilled to be able to offer ECITB-accredited Project Controls Training courses designed by our industry experts to take learners through the fundamental disciplines of Project Controls. 

The demand for project controllers is rapidly increasing due to major growth in planned construction and infrastructure projects.

What sets us apart is the years of knowledge and experience our subject matter experts have from working in a specialist Project Controls consultancy, which allows them to bring theory to life with their real-world expertise. We foster an interactive learning environment and encourage all participants to ask questions throughout the training for an enjoyable and enriching learning experience.
We have sixteen expert-led modules, spanning four different courses, which are all delivered in person in at our dedicated training room here at Blueprint HQ near Stroud. The courses are designed to ensure construction and civil engineering professionals are fully equipped in every aspect of the project controls function.

  • “Blueprint’s planning training was immensely valuable for anyone seeking deeper insights into Project Controls. Our trainer was an excellent mentor and teacher, ensuring that the sessions were not merely a series of PowerPoint presentations but were conducted in an engaging environment. I highly recommend this training to anyone interested in learning more about Project Controls.”

Everyone that I have worked with over the last couple of months at Blueprint has been professional, patient, knowledgeable and helpful and I would jump at the opportunity to complete another one of their Academy training sessions. 100% recommended.”
