TOP REVIEWS FROM PROJECT EXECUTION

by FFDec 25, 2017

Course contains very thought provocative exercises which allows to apply the project management knowledge in realistic situation.

by HSAug 30, 2020

Nice Course, But quite taxing in terms of workload. The academical work is a bit vague and "unappliccable" to reality. V3ry nice if you want to start a career in Project Management!!!

by SMAug 8, 2019

Practical hands-on course that allowed me to create a project from start to finish.

by MTMay 31, 2020

Some problems with dashboard, grades are not showing at timely manner. Unlike first two courses.
