The course was very thorough and covered exactly what I requested through the pre-course survey. I liked that there was theory, examples, exercises, text etc but also focussed on following initiative and not on complicating matters.
I’m excited to go back to the workforce and start using some of the tools that I’ve been give. The course was a good refresher and very practical. It’s reinspired my interest in project management.

The course was delivered extremely well and the supporting materials were great takeaways. I really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone.
The facilitator was very flexible to our needs as a group. The content covered was specific to our needs and this ensured engagement throughout.
