Nick was great

Comment

Course was good but a lot of information to take in. Not sure the time constraints help you to fully understand how to apply it day to day. Nick was great and made sure you understood as the course progressed.

The course overall was great

Comment

The course overall was great value for money. This was simply because Nick has a brilliant teaching style which in my opinion, he was able to transfer his knowledge adequately to the class rather to myself. Having been in the industry already, I believe this course will help me towards delivering more successful projects.

Nick was very knowledgeable

Comment

Most useful aspects were areas to highlight, breaking down themes section, process breakdown, key words and scenario breakdown as these helped to quickly navigate PRINCE2 booklet.
The course has done with one more day so the pace could have been slightly slower but nevertheless it was good given time available.
Nick was very knowledgeable and accessible during the course assisting with any queries.

Nick was great

Comment

I thought the course itself was excellent. In hindsight, I feel the 5-day course would have suited me better. Nick was great and answered any questions and gave useful tips to retain information.

The course was excellent

Comment

The course was excellent, although it was very fast paced, especially for the Foundation course, which I didn't expect. Nick was excellent and covered all aspects.

I truly enjoyed the course

Comment

I truly enjoyed the course. Our instructor was knowledgeable and patient with us. He was very kind to provide guidance in project management matters which may not be directly associated with the course material. Training material, especially the handout booklet and the progress diagram were top notch. The only recommendation I will make is going through a case study (i.e. a project) with actual management products, and how tailoring was applied, it would be immensely beneficial to solidify the course content. Overall, it was an amazing course! Thank you!
