    Sue did a fantastic job showcasing the potential that this platform has

    Sue did a phenomenal job in introducing us to the Platform and teaching us the basics of navigation and function in a way that made the rest of the course feel intuitive. I particularly enjoyed learning about the resourcing functionality. Additionally, case studies were useful for reinforcing course content. I am excited to learn more about P6. Sue did a fantastic job showcasing the potential that this platform has.

  • Case Studies were the Best Feature

    Case Studies were the Best Feature

    I found it a thorough review of all the basics in P6. The Case Studies were the best feature as it allowed the user to actually use the skills taught in the class. Thanks to Sue for her time. She was a great instructor, and I appreciated her time and efforts last week.

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    Sue was an excellent instructor, very patient and thorough. She really went out of her way to ensure that everyone in the course was getting a good grasp on the material! 10/10 would recommend! Also, Sue's tip about using reflection projects during meetings to make changes to the schedule and review those changes prior to merging with the original schedule is going to be a life saver for me!
