Build the leadership capability needed to manage commissioning, start-up and project handover successfully.

Over three days you will develop practical approaches to:

• Commissioning leadership

• Construction to commissioning transition
• Managing constraints and uncertainty
• Decision making under pressure
• Commissioning planning and execution
• Lessons learned from major international projects

The course is highly interactive and includes practical workshops, discussions and realistic role-play exercises based on real commissioning scenarios.

Unlike generic project management courses, every module focuses specifically on commissioning and start-up.

MasterClass CSU Manager is a professional development programme designed to prepare experienced commissioning professionals for CSU management responsibilities. Completion of the programme does not, of itself, qualify a person for appointment as a CSU Manager, as suitability for the role depends upon experience, competence and the requirements of the employing organisation.

However, successful completion of the programme demonstrates a commitment to professional development and may enhance career progression by strengthening the leadership knowledge, judgement and practical capability expected of effective CSU Managers.
