(4.90 out of 5) Chris B [ 30 October, 2017 ]
Peter was clearly a very knowledgeable and engaging presenter. He made what could have been a very dry topic interesting and also followed the course material which will be useful for the future reference.
(5.00 out of 5) Victoria K [ 25 October, 2017 ]
Again another excellent course, very informative has expanded my knowledge further. Should have considered doing this course in a months time when I had more experience with MS Project, would be a good tip to people when booking to have a break between courses.
