It was great to meet the other candidates on the course and to hear all about the different roles and industries they worked in and also what they were hoping to achieve from the course. From experienced project managers hoping to formalise their years of working in projects, to Project Managers just starting out in their new roles and hoping to understand the common language they are working in and to help increase confidence for them and also the suppliers and other PM they work with. It was a good class size of 12 so enough opportunity to discuss experiences and ideas which really helped put the theory into context.<\/p>\n
Dave, the trainer was very welcoming and set us all at ease straight away. His relaxed and comfortable delivery along with his extensive knowledge and experience set a great environment for the course. Dave wanted anyone who was unsure or had a question to just ask. Everyone did, and it meant that we were all working at the same pace and no one was left behind.<\/p>\n
The mixture of slides and Dave\u2019s drawings and diagrams really helped the theory sink in and when asked for a recap the next day, proved that it was all sinking in. It is a lot to remember and an intensive week but Dave\u2019s delivery really helped with the retention as you could track back to his simple, yet effective, examples. Such as Output \u2013 New Chocolate Bar, Outcome \u2013 selling the new chocolate bar, Benefits \u2013 increased profits from selling the new chocolate bar. It\u2019s no secret that Dave likes Chocolate!<\/p>\n
The pace was non stop as there is a lot of theory but the regular breaks allowed you to take a breath (and enjoy the wonderful lunches, snacks and coffee), allowing you to re-group and continue on. Dave was receptive to the class and when he could see we were tiring at the end of day 2 we worked out a critical path and the effect of free float by \u00a0standing up and acting it out.<\/p>\n
The exam was on everyone\u2019s mind but with the syllabus check list on hand we could see the progress we were making and it also showed that we covered all the areas we needed for the exam. We were practicing writing exam style answers from day one so by Friday we knew what to expect.<\/p>\n
Fully expecting 100% pass rate for the group. Great week, certainly one I will remember!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
