(4.80 out of 5) Vanessa M [ 08 October, 2020 ]
I found the information relating to customising the QAT very helpful. The information on printing a Gant chart was useful and the notes are very comprehensive. The training room is clean, tidy and has very good natural light which makes for an easy learning environment. THANK YOU

Detailed explanation backed by real life examples from instructor's experience. Sharing of experience by instructor not found in manual is valuable.
(4.90 out of 5) David Z [ 15 September, 2020 ]
Good level, good pace. Good selection of 'essentials'. The Development project was a good example, as a suggestion, a short explanation on this, to provide some context pre-course would help with preparation for the task.
(4.60 out of 5) Despina F [ 15 September, 2020 ]
Alex was very clear in explaining the steps and would review everything he covered, step by step, which I found very helpful. The pace was fine although as a newbie to the whole MS Project I did get a bit lost at times but he was very patient in covering the steps again and fault-finding the errors. ALex depth of knowledge and 40+years experience was fantastic and I appreciated learning from him. Thank you so much!
