We asked what they’d tell a colleague who asks about this session:
- “Extremely helpful to understand what I’m doing well or less well, and to put ‘proper’ terms/names/structures to things I’m doing, so I can increase my credibility for future employability.”
- “Very concise and enjoyable course, would recommend. It’s not like other courses, which are intense and focused only on answering exam questions. In this one, I learned comprehensively about project management thanks to the facilitator’s delivery and great course structure.
- “Provides very practical skills for project management.”
- “I now actually know what project management consists of. The techniques will be super helpful for planning projects for the rest of my life. The facilitators were great and very charismatic, which made it engaging for the whole time.”
- “Thoroughly worth doing. I felt that while I was learning about formal techniques and frameworks, I understood why they were useful and could see how I could apply them to my own work immediately.”
- “[The facilitator] is a brilliant speaker and knows the PM realm well, which means you will be able to learn a lot from the course. Interesting anecdotes meant that the information was easy to remember, and also funny.”
- “Brilliant sessions, frameworks are very well explained using real-world examples.”
Other comments included:
- “Really enjoyable. I was surprised but glad that examples were contextualised so it wasn’t all/only theoretical frameworks!”
- “Very engaging. Normally, I would lose concentration, but I didn’t.”
- “[The facilitator] was fantastic. Engaging, informative, very willing to have discussion around any questions, helped keep the sessions interactive.”
- “This was a really useful and worthwhile course, thank you! It made the content as interesting as possible and very easy to understand.”
- “Great session. Well paced. Good material and very knowledgeable trainer.”
- “Thank you – the application to the PHD / research for the students is great and really beneficial for them!”
