General Objectives & Approach
This programme pursues three main objectives:
• Strengthen the ability to apply a project management methodology in real professional situations.
• Develop a structured approach to project leadership, decision-making, and adaptation.

A practical, progressive, and application-focused approach.
This training pathway is based on active learning methods centred on realistic project scenarios. Theoretical concepts are introduced through e-learning, allowing classroom sessions to focus on scenario analysis, simulations, peer discussions, and practical group exercises.

Testimonials
Prince2 certification just validated (53/60)
I initially had some reservations about the value of these preparation sessions, given the financial investment involved.
However, even though I consider myself self-taught, I recognise that the preparation with Kim Organisation was essential in helping me grasp the concepts and understand the key nuances, without which I am not sure I would have been able to pass the certification exam.
A big thank you to Pascal, who led these sessions in such a way as to make what was initially a very conceptual subject both digestible, interesting and interactive!
Beyond all the tangible and measurable methodological criteria, it was above all his personal involvement with the group that made the difference.
Participant in Fundamentals Training
I passed the PRINCE2 in English exam with a score of 90%. I found the exam demanding, but we were very well prepared. I would therefore like to thank you for the high quality of the training you provided. I particularly appreciated your teaching approach as well as your availability to clarify theoretical concepts.

The training not only enabled me to achieve the PMP certification on my first attempt but also enhanced my project management knowledge with practical tools and methods that can be seamlessly applied to my work.
Participant in Expert training
The last 3 months were intense with the program, study and job-hunt but I truly enjoyed the learning, experience, exchanges and networking with people alike. I learned so much and am confident that the PMP certification will help in my job-search and jobs.
Participant in Specialist training
Coming from an international nonprofit background, I was initially hesitant about how my experience would align with the broader project management industry standards. However, the intensive PMP training offered by KIM Organisation was exceptionally clear and helped me grasp the PMP mindset and processes while connecting them to my own experiences.
