Testimonials:
Project Management Fundamentals
"I really enjoyed this class. It definitely filled the gaps in my knowledge of Project Management. I also enjoyed being able to attend class at my leisure from home."
"Tony, Thank you for this on line course. I found both the course content and your comments to be informative and interesting."
"This was a fantastic class and I really enjoyed it!"
"This course was very interesting and informative in introducing a completely new area to me. Initially the assignments were very frustrating as I did not have any formal experience. However they encouraged me to identify informal project plans, and also to seek sources who DID have PM experience! that lead to discussions on topics, specific questions and clarifications etc. I now have the confidence to contribute on something that I previously had no knowledge of in a topic of conversation, or even as a project team member one day. Who could ask for more? Thank you, Tony."
"This was my first ever online course. I have enjoyed the subject matter very much. I tried to read and do the quizzes in between home chores and work schedule and I did it. I thought it is going to be really hard but it turned out to be easy and understandable."
"This was my first project management course and I loved it. It is very well written and easy to follow. This course should be required to take for any level and field of management by any company. I can say at least, for my current company. I will reference this material for my current and future work projects. Actuality, it is helping me to gain another job opportunity,(I hope.) Thank you!"
