Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

This first foundation really gives a great overall and basis to begin on. Their are so many pieces of the organization that I was not aware would be involved in this, however, you truly touch on the true principles of an organization and how the project management role plays a part.

It was really helpful taking this course, I mean I had no clue about PM but the way you put the information and the organization were amazingly nice.

I don't know if my review would be any helpful but for those who have second thoughts, believe me it worths at least giving it a shot.

The course is relevant. I apply the information learned to my every day work. While the discussion prompts, once answered, can be a bit difficult to naviagate due to the increasingly large amount of responses and users, the course itself is well taught, reinforced, and hands on.
