It would have been a better video if it wasnt just an animationa. I would have loved it were a real person explaining to me with clear illustrations of the teachings.

Le cours dans son contenu est très riche. Le formateur adopte une pédagogie axée vers la pratique et emploie des cas concrets, ce qui rend l'apprentissage plus digeste. Je recommande !

The course is a great match for me. I do not fully understand the concept of construction procurement methodology as it has taught so far. I will do another rating at the end of the course. However, I have learned a lot and I love it so far.

Skills and experience are not enough without fundamental principles of construction management. It is therefore imperative to sharpen ones knowledge now and again. Poor planning together with strict budget control, strong bureaucratic procedures is the only killer risk that has cost projects huge loses: where items that stop progress on site would be procured days later because of standard approvals.

This course has alot to offer, and cover a veriety of topic, but not all in details. you need to watch the course videos more than once to get all the benefits of the course. Highly recommend.
By Mohammed Eyaz Ansari on 6/19/2022
The content is from the main contractor's perspective. Whereas the procurement process in subcontractor firms is a way different. However, the content is explained in a clear engaging way. The assignments were also brainstorming. 5star ratings.
