The overall course was presented very well and explain clearly.The hands on exercise have helped a lot in reinforcing my confidence.
(5.00 out of 5) Suzi G [ 01 May, 2017 ]
The training was customised and dealt specifically to my needs. Alex provided an overview of the material in practical examples and then I was able to apply it to a relevant work template. He was incredibly helpful and spend time reviewing the schedule I was using and provide me with assistance to improve it without having to start again

I really enjoyed this course. Mainly as I had not been exposed to MS Project so it is very new to me. Many aspects of the course was quite interesting and valuable and Alex was great in explaining the different areas and functions of this product.
(5.00 out of 5) James K [ 16 January, 2017 ]
Grant a superbly useful, informative and easy to follow course. What I have learnt over the last 2 days will greatly help to shape a rework project schedules and provide much greater clarity and granularity in reporting and management.
