Content great, presenter amazing, support was great as wellTo move from Good to excellent the system needs connectivity improvements, there wasnt one class where audio wasnt connecting for a participant or participants were dropped.
Past Participant, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Dec 13, 2021
Content and delivery were great.Great experience from consultant, very enjoyable.She had to cram in a lot of information into a short amount of time, which is challenging. I feel that if there was more time, it would make it easier to absorb and practice the concepts using examples.Thank you again.

I really enjoyed the course! It was a great balance of interactive and individual learning and it really helped me grasp the concepts of Project Management. I would say the benefit was really the fact that it really helped me see how I can use those tools in the workplace. Mikhael was great! I really enjoyed his practical stories and his pace of the course.
Past Participant, Bentall Kennedy (Canada) LP Jan 23, 2020
Mikhail was organized, thoughtful and fun; I enjoyed his teaching style and ability present the material with humour and precision. Very well presented and facilitated by Mikhail with excellent, detailed information to begin approaching projects in a more organized way. Good introduction to project management and a clear method of approaching projects from an administrative (or otherwise) perspective.

There were many good take away's that I can apply to my daily work and when multi tasking BAU & projects .The course title did note administrative, however the objectives and benefits led me to understand tools would be discussed to track and report Peter was confident and well versed with information that needed to be covered as outlined . He discussed additional resources and courses that wll help for what I was looking to receive The course is good for administrative members to time manage and multi task . The course covered assessments that is a valuable tool to know your co workers and how to work best with them , which Is very useful

Amal hawa, Export Development Canada (EDC) Jan 16, 2019
This course is ideal for what I do and what I'm trying to achieve in my career! Our instructor Pat McNeill is amazing and dellivered the message in many different ways. Time well spent on this course, very beneficial. Pat McNeill is a bucket of knowledge, he demonstrated examples, shared valuable information, listened to shared experiences of all attendees. A big advantage of this 3 day session is that it only had 5 people, Pat took real advantage of this and closely tackled our experiences and gave advice. I will follow Pats classes for future courses.
Kimberley Natasha Gadwah, Institute for Canadian Citizenship Jan 16, 2019
This was an excellent course. It's practical, informative, innovative, clear and concise. Patrick is a great teacher and made learning easy and fun. He is very knowledgeable in this field and uses his expertise to encourage and empower his students making the learning process comfortable and approachable. Excellent! Easy to learn from and not intimidating at all. I'd recommend this course and instructor to all!Excellent course! Beat my expectations!

I was impressed by the course content and materials. I am sure I will look back on them in the future and, especially, will use the several templates provided. John Glennie was an engaging, knowledgeable course facilitator. His professional experience as a project manager and insights into the field were invaluable. I would highly recommend this course to colleagues. John Glennie was an excellent facilitator who successfully made the course content engaging and relevant to our audience. The course materials are great and ones that I can see myself referring back time and again. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to my colleagues.
Past Participant, Department of National Defence HQ Nov 2, 2017
I really enjoyed the course. I liked the location and set-up. Didn't take long for John to make us feel comfortable. His style and presentation was great. After the 3-days we were all like a family. John is a wonderful, knowledgeable and clear speaker. I would not hesitate to attend another course by him. Thank you John. Again I have nothing but praise for John. A great speaker and made us feel relaxed.

Rob was a delight to learn from. His knowledge of and passion for Project Management was obvious, and it is always a pleasure to learn from someone who loves what they are teaching. My only disappointment was in the food provided. I asked and was told that you were able to accommodate my celiac disease with gluten free foods, and while the first day was excellent, the second day I was served reheated leftovers, and on the third day there was no gluten free substitute for the pasta. I would have preferred to have been told to plan for my own lunch and snacks when I initially asked.

Natasha P, Sienna Senior Living Inc. Apr 26, 2017
Material was relevant and well delivered. Peter did an excellent job covering the materials in a way that kept all participants engaged and excited to learn. I was very happy to see the CMC kept the course running with only 3 participants. This required much more hands on facilitation of the material and Peter did an excellent job delivering the material in a way that we could all relate back to our personal work experiences. The small group time was greatly appreciated and Peter's insights were very valuable. The group activities and discussions made learning the course material much more enjoyable than standard classroom style. I would certainly attend another course facilitated by Peter. Great experience overall, valuable information.
Daniel J. Jan 19, 2017
Good pace, engaging with plenty of interaction among both the presenter and participants. Good opportunity for networking. Dynamic, engaging with a great sense of humor. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Would definitely recommend the course to others. Excellent course and presenter.
Past Participant, SmartSimple Software Inc. Jan 18, 2017
Personally, I thought the course was taught excellently - however, some of the activities could have been thought out better - there were repetitious questions that didn't need to be asked. I know some of my classmates felt differently so I suppose subjective responses to the coursework are to be expected. If there is a way to provide students who work at a faster pace with some additional opportunity that might come in handy for fast learners. Please let students know in the confirmation email that they will not need ANYTHING - laptop, pens, notebook - these are all provided but I came fully prepared the first day which was a bit disappointing for a commuter. Also, even though I never went hungry, the lunch options fail to accommodate gluten free diets. It wasn't clear to me who I could speak to about this issue, that would be a nice asset in the future.

The instructor was engaged and provided good insight on situations/example that were brought to his attention. There was a good discussion and sharing of ideas. I would recommend the course to other admin professionals Engaged and knowledgeable; provided personal work experiences when explaining comcepts The insights portion was a good way to determine how to communicate with others based on their style and your own.

As a business analyst we are often have to wear the PM hat. This is good training for any new BA. He was very passionate about his work as a PM. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to his stories. As mentioned in a prior question, all new business analysts should take this course.
Wanda I. Oct 10, 2016
I think that spending a little bit of time going over what project management is and how admins can use this in their job would have been beneficial to those who have no project management experience. Also it needed to be geared a bit more to admins and not to an actual project manager.
Peter was very engaging and helpful . Great job Peter!
Past Participant, Mackenzie Health Oct 5, 2016
It would be best for this course to have more than 4 people in class. Peter is a great facilitator.
Food was really good

I would broaden the actual name of the course. I think for Administrative Professionals is inaccurate more like Intro to Project Management, I didn't see much tailoring for admin professionals. I loved the course but I think you'd reach more people removing the admin bit.
Carol kept us entertained and engaged the whole duration of the course. She was professional, funny and made all of us feel comfortable. You can tell she's a master at her craft.

It was my first CMC course and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The learning content was sufficient for 3 days. Great flow, didn't feel like it was packed or rushed through. I will definitely consider taking another related course.
Peter was a great teacher, full of knowledge, credible, 100% engaged and he made the course fun. One of the best instructors that I've had in a while.

I would have liked if we were able to mix up the groups we were placed in for the exercises. Working with the same group of people for all 3 days, did not allow us to engage with everyone completing the course. Otherwise the course was fantastic!

I really liked the way in which he presented information and how he left sufficient time for discussion about real-life scenarios, which helped all of us students see how we could apply the new skills and tools to our actual roles and responsibilities at work.

I very much enjoyed this course and would recommend to anyone in a similar position as mine. The subject matter was interesting, but specifically the insight and practical experiences of the trainer will prove useful in handling situations which will occur in a project management sphere. One of th best courses I have been a part of. One of the best I have had the privilege of learning from.
