Aspire Europe Ltd partner with National School of Government for Sponsor Training

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

 

We are really pleased to be able to announce that we are working in partnership with the National School of Government for the delivery of Programme and Project Sponsor qualifications.

These were piloted at one of our key clients, the Home Office, with our senior consultant, Alan Summerfield working as one of the architects of the examination.

We believe that this qualification is unique to the upper tiers of the public sector, and we believe that working in partnership with the NSG we can help reach the right market and help improve performance across government.

We also offer unique SRO development events which are targeted at helping exec directors understand and work with the Programme discipline and bring their vast experience to bear at the right time. We have just finished a 6 months assignment providing such services to Bristol City Council
