Operations and project management decide how the work gets done. Business analytics decides what the numbers mean. Our members learn both, at Alfaisal University in Riyadh.

OPMOperations & Project Management

Scope, schedule, cost and risk, run the way PMI teaches it: from the project charter to the close-out report. Members prepare for CAPM® and PMI-CPMAI™.

BANBusiness Analytics

Excel, Tableau and the statistics behind a decision: turning a spreadsheet into a recommendation someone can act on. Members prepare for MO-200 and Tableau Desktop Specialist.

Riyadh

The capital is building a metro, a financial district and a new skyline at the same time. All of it runs on schedules, budgets and data: the work our members train for.
