A total of 115 project professionals from various major companies in Qatar received on Tuesday their Association of Project Management qualification and Risk Level 2 qualification at a formal ceremony held at The Diplomatic Club.
The project professionals were from a wide range of companies and organisations including Qatar Petroleum (QP), Qatar Shell, Qatargas, Qatar Airways and Gasal Q.S.C. The event marked their successful completion of the TAFAWOQ Essentials of Project Management and Managing Opportunity Project Risk courses, which were delivered over the last ten months.
As part of the ceremony, the project professionals were addressed by Mohamed Salem al Marri, Executive Vice President, Projects, Engineering and Procurement Services at QP, Mr. Andrew Faulkner, Managing Director and Chairman of Qatar Shell Companies, and Mr. Bader al Jaidah, Director of TAFAWOQ.
On this occasion Al Marri said, “Equipping our people with world-class skill-sets is at the top of our priorities. We must always maintain the highest professional standards across industries as we build and grow, which is a significant challenge due to the fast-paced environment under which we operate. Investing in our people, our most important asset, is essential for the continued development of our organisation and, ultimately, for the State of Qatar to realise the Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Faulkner stressed the importance of capacity building and knowledge transfer; ‘Human development is one of the pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030, which Qatar Shell seeks to support. This is why we have launched several social investment initiatives, such as TAFAWOQ, and engaged in local partnerships to generate real and measurable impact through sharing knowledge and best practices,’ he said.
The participating professionals benefited from the world-class expertise and experience of the course trainers, who were drawn from some of the most highly-regarded project management institutes around the world, including Cranfield School of Management in the UK, Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, Queensland University of Technology in Australia, and the University of Texas in the USA. The qualification was awarded by the Association of Project Management (APM), the globally-recognised chartered body for the project profession. The TAFAWOQ programme itself has recently been reaccredited by the APM until 2022.
