During the last 5 mins of the session the lectures' voice seems to have gotten very low. Unable to hear clearly even after adjusting the volume to the highest range.

By María Fernanda Almeida on 9/15/2023

I loved the simple and easy-to-follow approach but I would've loved to see more interaction throughout the course. Sometimes it felt very boring as the instructor was just reading through the slides. Overall, good.

By Anonymized User on 3/22/2023

I totally recommend this training. Very engaging since the beginning until the end. Easy to follow, clear, very structured and very useful information provided. I have learned a lot. The instructor is just great, congrats for the work done Umer Waqar! I will indeed do more training courses from him. Thank you!

By Anonymized User on 7/25/2022

Initially I found the lectures to be a bit repetitive, but as the lecturer gets into more complex topics, the repetition is more needed and less awkward. I learned quite a lot and was able to connect a lot of dots from my own experience so far that helped me understand better that I did know some of this - now I know what to call it. I also love that the lecturer went over Agile project management in detail, breaking down by concept and linking back to project management concepts covered in the earlier sections. Would recommend!

By Anonymized User on 2/25/2022

There is something wrong with the set up of this course. It won't let you get a completion certificate. Is this a glitch? Course was very well presented and a good pace. I received the basic principals in project management I was looking for. Thank you.

By Guillaume Palfi on 1/9/2022

Covers essentials and certainly helped me on my journey, however for an online class it could really benefit from a few end of section quiz or interactive ways to test your knowledge, and more resources such as examples of the documents and outputs mentioned.

By William Bailey on 11/20/2021

The course provides a comprehensive foundation for those aspiring to become Project Managers. As a Project Manager (PMP), I found the course serves as an excellent refresher.
