Management of Transit Construction Projects Class

The National Transit Institute will be sponsoring a “Management of Transit Construction Projects” class in Cedar Rapids, IA on May 5-7, 2010.

The course is intended for managers, planners, and engineers involved in all phases of the management, planning, design, construction, and post-construction of FTA projects. This includes grantee department or division managers responsible for major and non-major capital project development; directors of grantee consultant teams participating in the management of a major project; and managers of FTA Project Management Oversight (PMO) consultants.

That’s really great to hear, courses like this will sure help all the project managers and planners. Project management is not an easy thing to do, one need to have good knowledge about certain things.
