Course testing and evaluation
• Test 1: Participants: 14 TU Leaders and Educators
From: Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia & Zimbabwe
Venue: Durban, 8-13 December 2008
• Test 2: Participants: 17 TU Leaders and Educators
From: Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia & Zimbabwe
Venue: Durban, 15-20 December 2008
Major learning from combined evaluation (31 participants):
• The course should be proposed in two perspectives:
– Effective Leadership
• Covering all topics but more emphasis on leadership and less emphasis on Project Management although key knowledge on PM should be included
– Effective Project Management
• Detailed Project Management training with an overview on leadership to help project leaders but more emphasis on documentation and implementation processes
