What clients say about our CAPM® Exam Preparation Course
I have very positive impression of Personal Development as so far my experience was a top-notch, booking process was very smooth and easy and I am happy with service and advice provided by my training consultant.
The trainer was very professional and I am very happy with content of the course, which was very clear, and I felt it was very well organized, we were able to address all the topics (processes and knowledge areas).
Discussions were very valuable for me, to be able to test my knowledge by completing various exercises and exchange my experience with more experienced Project Managers. I understood I know more than I initially thought, and we have more PMI® processes implemented in the company I work for than I thought before joining the course.
I really enjoyed the live virtual classroom, it went very smooth and I think in current climate where many companies opted for working from home it should be used more.
I certainly enjoyed the training course and am glad I chose Professional Development as the course provider. The content on your website covering the content of the courses is excellent and from your first contact following up on my website perusal you have been most helpful and efficient. Booking was easy and provided all the receipts and books etc.
The trainer was a really good facilitator. I thought virtual worked very well and the class size worked very well for the content we were covering. I’m glad that I got to do the training with a PMP® group also as it gave me insights into the experience of the other course goers.
Also, I will most definitely keep Professional Development in mind for other courses and of course when I go onto take the PMP® course.
