Project Coordinator (OBM) programmeOnline, with AI every week

OBM training: become a freelance project coordinator

OBM stands for Online Business Manager: a freelance coordinator who runs her clients' projects remotely.

In 12 weeks, you run a real project from start to finish: scoping, planning, risks, tracking, closing. You leave with your own coordination system and a coordination offer ready to pitch. Every deliverable is marked. AI executes. You steer.

The programme, week by week

One sprint = 4 weeks. C = a document marked in writing within 3 working days. = what AI prepares, and you check. Throughout: a real project with one of your clients, with their written consent.

  • Automate what repeats
  • Prospect with AI
