How is the ISO 21502 course delivered in practice?

The delivery approach is designed to build usable project management capability while keeping the learning aligned to the ISO 21502 guidance and the certification exam scope. The educational approach describes a blend of theory and practice, which typically means content is introduced through structured instruction and then reinforced through applied work.The theory component is delivered through sessions of lectures illustrated with examples based on real cases. This part establishes the reference model: project governance, project organization and roles, integrated practices across the lifecycle, and individual practices used to plan, control, and report on delivery.The practice component includes practical exercises based on a full case study. The case study is paired with role playing and oral presentations, which helps participants rehearse project leadership behaviors such as explaining decisions, handling trade-offs, and communicating status. This format also supports peer feedback because participants can see how different teams interpret requirements and apply practices.The course also incorporates quizzes, which support quick checks of understanding and help participants connect the guidance to real-life scenarios. In addition, review exercises are included to assist exam preparation, focusing attention on the knowledge areas likely to be assessed.A practice test similar to the certification exam is included to support readiness. This is useful not only for content revision but also for time management, since it exposes participants to the style and structure of exam questions. Finally, participant numbers are limited to ensure the practical exercises can be run effectively and that trainers can provide meaningful guidance during applied activities.
