Personally I enjoyed it and it was pretty good and informative, but compared to the first two courses it was like a big jump in like difficulty, it had more graded content and longer modules and videos than anticipated. Still it was a nice learning experience.

A small fraction of my peers were a little harsh on the peer exercises. For instance, one of my colleagues said that my project summary was less than desirable. His tone was offensive and the comment was not helpful. He did not mention what needed improvement.

Learnt a lot. Learnt to see & think differently. An eye-opening in many aspects. All the instructors are good but, Instructor Rowena is exceptionally good. She kept my full attention 100%. Hope to see more of her videos.

Thank you very much.

The course is always laid out perfectly and the content completely understandable. However, individuals mark peer graded assignments incorrectly which is unfair to the people who are paying as well as dedicating their time to do these assignments.

Fantastic course and a great instructor The quizes, documentations and working sheets were on point and the Glossary terms to download at the end of the course is just what was needed to complement the course. I wish if all courses have the same.

I was able to learn a lot of new concepts related to Risk management and Project planning. Although we have all planned several projects in our lifetime, this course added an extra layer of conscience to my ability to plan all my future projects.

Best course I have ever taken (out of 20 or so). Filled with practical assignments and good examples. It is definitely a more time consuming course, but you will actually get your hands dirty with a lot of project management documents & skills.

A very well-thought and well-paced course even for a beginner like me. You can track your understanding with the Quizzes they've prepared in every Module, and even a Hands on Training for making several Project Plan documents that you can try
