What other attendees think about the PMBoK® Project Management 101 Course

“As a school principal, it provided me with the confidence to effectively supervise projects and not waste time or money on useless activities”.

"I'd been fumbling about running small projects for years for my organisation without knowing it could have been much easier.  The PMBoK Project Management 101 training was fantastic.  I now am better organised, have my stakeholders on-board, and deal with contract issues without getting frustrated.  I didn't realise how much time and effort I could save using a tool like PMBoK".

"The best course I've done in 10 years.  Informative, practical, and enjoyable!".
