Calculate and apply key Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics such as PV, EV, AC, CPI, SPI, CV & SV.
Track project performance using S-curves, cost reports, and variance analysis
Forecast project outcomes with EAC, ETC, and VAC formulas to identify cost overruns early.
Use real-world techniques to monitor, report, and control project costs effectively
Develop professional skills required for project managers, planning engineers, and quantity surveyors.

Managing project costs is one of the most critical skills for every project manager, engineer, planner, or construction professional. This course gives you a complete, practical, and industry-focused understanding of Cost Estimation, Budgeting, Cost Control, and Earned Value Management (EVM) so you can manage any project with confidence.

Inside this course, you will learn step-by-step techniques used by top companies to estimate project costs, prepare detailed budgets, forecast financial performance, and measure progress using real data. Whether you are handling construction projects, IT, infrastructure, or engineering works, this course will help you plan, monitor, and control project costs effectively.

You will understand all major cost management processes, the flow from estimation to budgeting, and how to apply EVM formulas to track schedule and cost performance. We use real examples, templates, and simplified explanations, making it easy even if you are a beginner.
