What Our Students are Saying...

  • I enjoyed the online setting of this class

    I enjoyed the online setting of this class

    I enjoyed the online setting of this class. Each day I attended from home, which made the experience much more relaxed, and allowed me to focus on the lectures without the usual distractions of an office or school setting. I found the topics pertaining to activities within the WBS to be enlightening, as I have prior experience with SAP and I now understand how the data I input was implemented on the next steps of the project planning process.

  • Incredibly well done course

    Incredibly well done course

    I was genuinely really impressed with the course - it was incredibly well done. [I was] really impressed with the pace and layout of the class. The teacher was excellent, engaging and knowledgeful! I really enjoyed seeing the manual calculations for float. It was something that I had never seen broken down in that way, and it was helpful for deeper understanding.

  • I really enjoyed the workshops

    I really enjoyed the workshops

    This was a great course, thanks for taking the time to put it together. I really enjoyed the workshops, so that we could try what we learned ourselves. I'd never used P6 before... but then when doing the solo workshops, I found myself able to complete them with ease, and am now much more confident in my ability to use the program.
