What others say.
- I absolutely loved this course - it felt applicable to anyone in any field, and did a nice job of introducing tenets of project management in an accessible, yet not overly simplified way. I'm planning to take more courses with CCE after how much I enjoyed this one.
- The ease of access online was fantastic. I'm in Tasmania, so the ability to do a course like this was very beneficial. The facilitator was fantastic and very clear in her explanations. The materials and links to additional templates and resources were excellent.
- This course is very useful and practical. The content is well designed and is suitable for those who don't yet have foundational knowledge of project management. I can confidently apply the skills and tools learnt to my future projects. I'd strongly recommend the workshop to my colleagues and friends.
