    What Our Learners Say About Us

    "Ease of navigation and very knowledgeable instructor"

    Terrence Brown

    (4.0/5)

    United StatesTrustpilot

    "In terms of content, all good. But poor time management. Time expected for breaks was never compliant (ie. if teacher said he was taking 10 mins break, it ended up being 20. For 50 mins break, teacher was showing up AT least 10-15 mins late...) Also, during second day I asked one question about a test and teacher seem disappointed for me to ask and gave me a whole speech of me not retaining all information while reading (after hours of exhausted training) also letting me know people who does not focus tend to have Low IQ... Also, having to spend time just waiting for teacher to end notes that I guess it should have been ready already for the lesson (at least, if the teacher is expecting for the alum to memorize and know everything at once) "

    "The Info section on Invensis Learning website is what I exactly wanted. Thanks for putting all the information in one place."

    Sunny Reddy

    "It was a great experience, Sathish was a great trainer with advanced knowledge and willing to share. He was patient with the very many questions."

    HOPE IMMACULATE

    (5.0/5)

    "Respective communication, steady pace of the class, not too fast but as well not too slow. A lot of space for open discussions and questionings. its not 5/5 because I believe the sessions consist of too much information for such short time. It could be organized in 1 more day, with less information per day, to have a better understanding."

    "Thank you, team, for the flexibility. I had to change dates due to unexpected deadlines, and the team was easy to talk to and accommodate the dates for me to join another session. The examples were clear and I was able to follow the course with no previous knowledge in PM. Great work Laxman!"
