Overall, course was very relevent to my current level. I had no previous experience of MS Project but now feel confident that I will be able to apply it in my role at work. Course trainer was really enthusiastic and approachable. Very knowledgable and patient too. The course was well structured and the pace was just right. Would definitely recommend or use the service again myself, no negatives/improvements! Thank you!
