Pace of course was perfect. Trainer was so knowledgeable with excellent delivery, such that the course didn't feel overwhelming, which can sometimes happen when trying to fit study into an already hectic schedule.
I would really rate this course & found the workshops interesting and practical. The tutor had first hand experience leading projects with large multinationals, the assessment provides the opportunity to get into the nuts and bolts of project management so skills can be applied in a practical way.
Highly rated for staff that want an introduction to PM, work in project management roles and for those that are involved in projects regularly.
I really enjoyed the course and the trainer was great at explaining the fundamentals. I'm usually the person asking all the questions, however I didn't need to ask anything during the course, which shows that I understood everything. The location of the course was great as well. Easy to get to, and having a choice of food options for lunch was amazing. Overall I'm very pleased with the course and will definitely recommend it to people who are looking for this type of level certification.
