Project Management Training and Learning

Overall a very good intro course to change management. The instructor conveyed core concepts and stages that organizations and individuals go through during large changes. The concepts were high level and could have used some more concrete examples. Of course, diving into more detail would have extended the course. On of the benefits of this class is that you can gain a good understanding of what to expect and some good advice on how to lead during change in just a couple hours.

Mike covers all the key topics a project manager needs to know in his Skills Mastery Program and it's clear throughout the course that Mike not only understands the theory, but also what works practically and offers tips, tricks and pitfalls to watch, that only an experienced practitioner knows. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to grasp the key concepts of good project management.

This course teaches how to project a more professional image. The audio and video were excellent. This would be a good course for people with English as a second language, as the pace was slow.

The best thing about The Project Manager’s Skills Mastery Program is its logical structure. This goes all the way through from being given a project to project closure. What’s more you will be able to do it with your own projects which is the key to the way Mike Clayton has put it together.

So, I say: 'Invest, invest invest!' You get nothing by not investing in yourself and the return on investment will be multiplied many times over.

The main reasons to buy this course are that it is easy to navigate; broken into very manageable "chunks" that can be completed over time as you can get online and do them (short periods of time); very accessible, understandable, makes the PM jargon easier to grasp for those of us not embroiled in super complex PM organizations (like me in the small nonprofit world!); Mike is engaging and interesting AND he knows his PM stuff!!

What made this course valuable was LOTS of information that will help me translate PM for our team as we roll out a culture shift that will include embedding PM practices into the operations of our programs...a tall order for a small nonprofit operation more used to the "fly by the seat of the pants" approach to PM!

I'd recommend this course to EVERYONE who does any kind of project management in their work life...
