Foundation in Data & AI

In a rapidly evolving landscape, understanding data and AI is no longer optional for project professionals - it's essential. Foundation in Data and AI is a practical, jargon-free course designed to help you navigate the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation with clarity and confidence.

Estimating & Cost Intelligence

Unlock the power of AI to improve accuracy, speed, and insight in cost management. Learn how to generate smarter cost estimates, automate quantity extraction from drawings, use simulations like Monte Carlo, and apply AI to live pricing and historical data. You’ll also explore how to surface risks from reports and correspondence, and see what it takes to evolve into a digital-ready cost leader.

Planning & Scheduling

Build automated schedules and discover the practical use of AI in shaping them to be smarter and risk-aware. Learn how to use language models to draft programme narratives, detect risks and constraints, forecast schedule trends, and automate reporting. Explore how to extract insights from project data, evaluate alternative scenarios, and create visual plans that combine traditional scheduling with AI-driven intelligence - all while building skills to lead in the next generation of planning.

Commercial Administration

Streamline contract management, claims analysis, & procurement strategy with AI. Learn to use language models to review clauses, spot risks, and analyse disputes, while building models to automate valuations, contract change and monitor spend. The module also covers AI-driven bid evaluation, supply risk forecasting, and commercial dashboards - equipping you to apply AI across contract workflows and make smarter, data-informed decisions.

Digital & Reporting

Develop the skills to design integrated, automated reporting systems that drive clarity and control. Learn how to connect data across scheduling, cost, and documentation systems, build real-time dashboards with drill-down capabilities, and apply AI models to forecast performance and detect risks. We’ll also cover data governance, quality assurance, and the principles of digital delivery - helping you lead smarter, data-driven projects.

Risk Management

Move beyond static registers and embrace AI-driven, dynamic risk practices. Learn to predict and mitigate risks in real time using machine learning, integrate cost, schedule, and operational data into unified risk views, and build stakeholder-ready dashboards with live updates. The module also explores digital governance, ethical AI use, and global standards - preparing you to lead confidently in AI-enhanced risk roles.
