I would recommend the course, it really helps to understand the big picture of managing a project and ensuring what’s needed to achieve a clearly defined desired outcome. Enjoyed the session as trainer was very friendly and created a very good team atmosphere. Liked the team exercises. Being allowed to discuss my own project challenge ahead and one aspect of it (estimating time required).

Training is a good check point and learning for projects, most members have learned projects through experience. Session was good using examples and make people discuss with each other and find out that there are more disciplines that your own.

Tokyo Electron logoPeter, Tokyo Electron Europe Ltd.

Yes I will recommend the course, it will help to evaluate in advance more aspect of a project. What I found most useful was the managing of resources and the identification of the leaders in different layer of the project before it starts. I did enjoy the course the way it was structured.
