    I thought this was a good introduction to project management, or refresher course. I would have liked to see a lot more examples of the techniques and stages discussed though. It’s been useful though and I’m already putting it into practice.

    This course was good, but very high level. Good read before starting a project to remind of fundamentals. Could benefit by more information on software tools available and more info on gant charts, how they are used.

    Very informative on project management. Highly recommended for those in project management.

    good course covering all aspects of project management – a little bit technical at time and a lot of info to absorb in a small time frame. Possibly a few more practical – real work examples would cement theory.

    it makes no sense for you to have completed every single item of the course for it to say that its not completed. And then for it not to tell you what it is that you havent completed. Its very frustrating when every module is saying completed but not on the certificate.
