TOP REVIEWS FROM PROJECT EXECUTION

by HSAug 30, 2020

Nice Course, But quite taxing in terms of workload. The academical work is a bit vague and "unappliccable" to reality. V3ry nice if you want to start a career in Project Management!!!

by EGFeb 12, 2021

Excellent instructor and class. Live sessions and video classes help a lot in understanding PMBOK concepts. I also enjoyed the virtual interaction among my colleagues.

by SMAug 8, 2019

Practical hands-on course that allowed me to create a project from start to finish.

by MTMay 31, 2020

Some problems with dashboard, grades are not showing at timely manner. Unlike first two courses.
