Coming from no knowledge of project management, I know have a basic understanding of what it is and how to move forward with a career in project management. The course was informative, clear and easy to understand. I also liked that there was advice from working project managers and not just textbook information. Overall, I now know what the next steps are in this field and how that will affect me.
