What Our Learners Say About Us
"The course was delivered very well by Vivek. The one 2 one format really helped."
"PD is very comprehensive in explaining the justifications to the answers in the sample papers provided. Thank you PD for taking the time to train me and Cjhay! It was a productive 4-day training!"
"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 trainer could customize the training for our company needs and teams could relate them better."
"Sathish Kumar was a great course facilitator, took the time to explaine with a calm voice and lots of patience all the topics and questions. Really recommend that course with him. "
"Well structured training. Liked the Part which had Agile as dedicated slide and linkages later by Trainer - Mr. Pritesh Shah. With lot of Examples at each stage. "
"Sathish explained very well all the PM tasks and gave me a lot possibilities to ask questions. With examples from applied PM, I was able to understand how to apply this principle to real projects I will manage. Thanks!"
"very customer focused agile way of training. Knowledgable , well prepared and customer focused trainer( Pritesh)"
