This course was exactly what I needed. I had no preliminary knowledge of the topic. I should have taken something like this years ago, as any professional should.
Despite my lack of interest in general for numbers, the instructor was so good that I found myself really interested. Also, the pace was right, the group size was just right and the mix of theory with group exercises was well-balanced.
Jason Orr was a phenomenal speaker. He was able to bring the material down to a level that all of the students were able to understand and relate to, regardless of the wide range of skills, knowledge, and responsibilities that were present. His teaching methods and tools allowed me to absorb more course material than I´ve ever been able to in previously taken courses.
Gives me ideas/strategies to apply to real life, not just text book (school).
The number of course participants allowed a direct interaction between the trainer and students. Also, the trainer used the structure of topics and challenging statements to wake the students up from their day-to-day work procedures.
Instructor was very knowledgeable and questions were answered without hesitation.
Excellent subject knowledge & depth, very clear & methodical, and excellent mentor.
We were able to work on projects we are currently working on back at the office. This made the training more relevant.
I liked the focus on practical examples of the lessons taught, as well as opportunities to practice the tools in teams. This allowed us to better understand, and obviously practice what we were learning, on work based examples. Therefore we learned and got some preliminary work done.
Most importantly, the course gave an overview of the role project management has within an organization. It provided ideas of how to breakdown a project into bite-sized steps.
