I started my career as a PM at IBM Brazil. At that time, PMI Institute was not even founded. But, I did get certified at a corresponding degree. I've acted as a PM for 20 years and then as a Business Process Manager. I'm now enrolled into a PMO building process.

People should definitely engage on these short video-classes and improve from there within OnlinePMCourses. Endorsed !

You get short video-classes, knowledge build-up at our own pace, and the templates distributed within each course.

I would definitely recommend this course, I really enjoyed the structure of the content and the bite sized learning videos along with all the resources. It provides a great starting point. You have managed to make some of the more challenging aspects of PM eg work breakdown structure much better to understand. If someone was totally new to PM they would certainly develop enough knowledge to be able to apply this to their work with plenty of tools and resources to try out.

I have gained a better grasp of the models, techniques and strategies in PM that I can now apply to my work. This is supplemented by the templates you have provided that I can use and adapt to my work. I feel I have gained confidence in my abilities as I realise my approach to PM were the techniques and strategies you shared without me realising this was the case. I feel I am not a traditional PM but do manage projects. I now feel I have been able to label these with the correct names and follow through fully. I feel I now better equipped to put these into practice

I would welcome information on other PM methodologies such as agile and waterfall but you may cover these in other courses. I would also welcome more real life examples which shared some of challenges PM's faced and how they overcame these though using these techniques and strategies. This is where I have a stumbling block.

Colleagues in my organisation who are keen to develop their PM skills as my employer runs many projects but most of the time do not apply a PM approach to projects. Thanks for a really useful course. I have already been re-visiting the content.

The course was clear and comprehensive. It gave me a better understanding of our new product development process.

I would recommend it to everybody wanting to learn about the PM job.

The unique thing about the training from OnlinePMCourses is that you can interact with your trainer. This isn’t a study-in-isolation type programme, although of course you can do that if it suits your learning style. Mike is committed to giving you the support you need to make the course a success, so he has included a comments section in every module of the course. Ask your question and he’ll get back to you.

The course is outstanding. Mike presents the concepts in a relaxed and easy to understand way. It's the perfect first step toward a career in project management. Given that PM is such a huge discipline across so many fields and endeavors, it's so valuable to have someone talk you through it in a brisk, interesting and informative way. Mike doesn't get bogged down in endless technical details, he keeps the show moving so you know you're making great headway across the broader themes of PM which is what a new entrant really needs.

You get 1. A clear understanding of an entire project life cycle from definition through planning, delivery and close 2. The ability to come back and reference the content whenever I need it. Which will be often. 3. The flexible payment options and great pricing which makes it doable in my very limited spare time.

I'd definitely recommend it to people like me who have a bit of prior knowledge and are ready to get more granularity about the whole process from start to finish.

This course is a good start to ascending the project management ladder. It's a refreshing look at the theory behind Project Management and why to do it properly, rather than just doing the task.

I'd recommend this to somebody starting on the road of PM or somebody that has been in the position and become lost. This is a comprehensive course getting into the necessary discipline. Not too much just enough to allow understanding and not get bored.

Do not hesitate a second...
You will never regret this investment. Probably quite the opposite... If you are interested in project management, I could not imagine a better way of investing your resources.

You will get:
1.Clear picture of what really matters, what are the real priorities and fundamentals
2.good understanding of the skeleton that will allow the best development of all the accessory/secondary but of course also necessary principles and
3. very good reference of how to make presentations...

CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR MAGNIFICENT WORK. YOU MAKE IT VERY EXCITING AND ENJOYABLE... WHILEVTRULY LEARNING!!!

I'm always a bit skeptical about online courses. I am really enjoying the pace and the content. Each section is easy to grasp, take notes and reflect on.

Also, I enjoy the fact that I'm learning from your wealth of experience and not someone regurgitating the PMBOK. I appreciate your passion for the craft.

I did a search on youtube and found a couple of your videos. I really liked the calm delivery and well-structured material.

I would tell someone who was considering buying this course to 'go for it'.

I got structure, inspiration and tools. Keep it as it is. The step by step approach works really well.

I would recommend this course to anybody with an interest in project management.

This course has Dr. Mike Clayton, project management author, as the instructor who is in the course to answer any questions you may have. The course is made up of 13 hours of video content and 50 ready-to-use templates which takes you through every process, skill, and technique needed for project management.

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.

I first heard about this course through the PMP Exam Preparation Facebook group. I find these courses helpful in that it reinforces materials I am currently utilizing

Material was presented in a different means which is helpful as there has been so much reading. Material is also presented in more real-life work scenario.

I would recommend this course to anyone in the profession - currently practicing project managers as well as those studying for PMP certification

Very user friendly, accessible, and understandable in a way that some of the other PM education I have engaged in has not been. Less "jargony" and more practical.

It's given me new perspectives/understanding of familiar topic areas; information I can share in new ways with others I am training in PM skills

I'd recommend this course to anyone interested in learning PM skills whether they aspire to getting the PMP certification or not.

The PMP Exam Prep Guide provides not just knowledge on book (PMBoK) but the technique to handle exam.

If you are considering buying this course... Do it! You will learn lots and benefit massively.

Before joining this course, I only learned about project management through work experience. As a result of taking this course, I have a better understanding of how things should work. And I like the ability to learn at my own pace. I'd recommend this course to any of my friends who want to also get into project management as it will help them to get to the next level.

The course is worth to buy, worth to read, worth to put it in practice. I myself bought it and it is helpful in my day to day activities.

The unique thing about the training from OnlinePMCourses is that you can interact with your trainer. This isn’t a study-in-isolation type programme, although of course you can do that if it suits your learning style. Mike is committed to giving you the support you need to make the course a success, so he has included a comments section in every module of the course. Ask your question and he’ll get back to you.

The videos are very short and the content is structured in a logical way that enables you to dip into whatever you need advice on at the time (that goes for all the courses that have video).

I like how the content builds, and there are decent upgrade paths too, so if you want to take a more in depth course you aren’t financially worse off than if you had just chosen that one first.

The Fast Start Program is a great way to learn the basics and fundamentals of Project Management within business. The course allows you to go at your own pace. All difficult terminology was broken down into real-life references, making it easy on the learner.

It's useful for any beginner/intermediate Project Managers who are looking to start their journey towards the PMP Certificate!

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...

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.

I appreciated you PM fundamentals video course both as a refresher and as a more systematic approach to PM.

Videos 2 and 3 helped me to identify issues that I had overlooked. I felt that the videos were clear and as specific as a free introductory course could be.

I recommend this to anyone who needs to oversee a project, whether simple or complex. The principles that your fundamentals course outlines apply to virtually any discipline or activity. Thank you for making them freely available.

I would suggest people try your free courses - they are a refresher on the 4 phases of a project. Suitable for any Project Manager looking for online training.

Amazing course and instructor. Course well structured and easy to follow. Content is informative. Great value for money.

It gave me a structured overview of key pm topics. Graphics and visualization of content. Terminology.

I would recommend this to those who are interested in upskilling in pm, with not much prior knowledge about the topic.

You have have skilfully used analogies and mental pictures together with clear illustrations to explain tough managements concepts. I should congratulate you for the great effort you put to produce the quality course which I think is second to none.

This course is a very good foundation for the project management. It presented all aspects which should be considered in project management, and full project life cycle - what is very important to understand. Well structured project fundamentals - I like the heart-shaped project cycle

I would recommend this course to: - people who are considering to be a project manager - they need to know, how many aspects there are in project management - this helps them to make a decision if they would like to be in this role - people who are project managers with 1 or 3 years of experience - they can sort out the knowledge they already have and find out where the improvement is needed
