Introduction to Project Management is Adelaide University's beginner course on edX for applying project management principles in work and everyday life. The page says you will gain core knowledge and applied skills in project management, the communication skills needed to run a project, and an understanding of why today's projects are more complex than they used to be. No prerequisites are listed; the course is also the first half of the AdelaideX Fundamentals of Project Management programme, alongside Risk Management for Projects.
edX marks it as introductory level and self-paced, estimated at six weeks of two to three hours a week. You can audit it free, which gives access to the course material for a limited period that edX says expires after the estimated course length; graded assignments and the certificate are not included. The verified track is priced on the page at 149 US dollars.
