Sheridan Course Outlines

Land Acknowledgement

Sheridan College resides on land that has been, and still is, the traditional territory of several Indigenous nations, including the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We recognize this territory is covered by the Dish with One Spoon treaty and the Two Row Wampum treaty, which emphasize the importance of joint stewardship, peace, and respectful relationships.

As an institution of higher learning Sheridan embraces the critical role that education must play in facilitating real transformational change. We continue our collective efforts to recognize Canada's colonial history and to take steps to meaningful Truth and Reconciliation.

Section II: Course Details

Detailed Description
Procuring products and services is a major responsibility of project managers. With in-depth knowledge of the procurement process and cost management, students prepare for the complex tasks ahead. Students study the structured procurement process, develop procurement documents, evaluate vendor proposals, draft contracts and oversee contract execution. Throughout the course, students obtain knowledge of the dimensions and factors involved in cost, value, and procurement management. Acquiring these skills allow students to procure products and services that achieve cost efficiency and optimization in projects they manage - making them pivotal to project success. Gain valuable procurement and cost management know-how by expanding on the information you acquired from MGMT79001 Fundamentals of Project Management. You will be required to purchase a textbook.
