Course Reviews
very interesting, this course helps me to understand different aspects of MS Projects to increase my expertise
Instructor's knowledge about the software is excellent and has provided excellent real life examples to showcase connection between them and the usage of the tool.
Great contents to understand the advance features of MS Project which will be very useful for what we want to implement in our workplace.
This is my second course with Alex and I find him to be a really good teacher. He has extensive knowledge and the ability to explain difficult things in an easy way to understand. Every time someone has a problem he could always look at their project plan and identify what they had done and how to fix it. These courses are well paced and allow sufficient time for students to ask questions. The manuals provided are a valuable resource post course as well.
