this course very boring, cause the instructor seems only read what is written on his screen, also the power point not interesting

By Filipa Pinheiro on 3/11/2022

The Procurement Planning (PMI - PMP) course is the best I've ever taken. Sorin makes it fun and easy to understand! The information from this training has given me a whole new perspective on how we can use procurement more effectively in our business.

By Vencel Szarvas on 3/9/2022

After taking the Procurement Planning (PMI - PMP) course, I have to say that Sorin is a great teacher. He has an impressive knowledge of what he teaches and his training methods are very engaging for me as someone who doesn't enjoy studying things too much in depth but wants results!

By G. Artz on 3/5/2022

I had a great time with Sorin. He's an amazing instructor and I feel like we clicked from the moment he walked into our classroom! The Procurement Planning course was very informative, too - especially for someone who has never dealt much in this area before like myself . It already paid off by helping me figure out how to buy some essential office supplies on sale today at such low prices.

one of the worst lecture I have ever attended. It seems like professor is reading script. If just reading script in front of students is what you call learning, then it is better we read books on our own. Please upgrade quality of this specific lecture. I regret buying this procurement planning lecture series. thank you.

By Gregorios Lambros on 11/25/2020

Sorin is definitely a lively person and it shows how his passion to help others breaks out. He is a marvellous teacher and I am sure his style will grow on me. It may be the Military back ground that plays a part here but this course is complete with extras and is wonderful!.

By Marcel Misak on 11/5/2020

I had a great experience taking this course. It is full of useful information that is organised in a clear and logical manner, and the instructor delivers the lectures in an engaging style. It was indispensable not only in getting the necessary requirements.

By Flores Samanta on 7/30/2020

I’ve been trying to learn Instagram to increase my exposure and this course was perfect! The video demonstrations sealed the deal for me. To hear the information followed by an example and demonstration really simplified it for me. Great course!

By Bright Ofosu Boateng on 7/29/2020

Amazing!!!. I believe that certificate to be awarded would be great as well.

By Joao Patricio on 7/28/2020
