Our Trainer was excellent. She had a manner and charm that is magnetic and her ability to facilitate class engagement is testament to her project management skills. Great course. One of the most engaging I’ve ever been on.
Bevan Johnson, Project Manager, Fonterra
Millpond managed a multi-vendor project team spread across the world, within very ambitious scopes and time frames. Millpond were great to work with, with their simple but methodical approach to project management.
Grant Longden, Digital Manager, FairWay.
I absolutely loved this Project Management course and it’s mostly due to your teaching style. Really respected the fact that you are in the industry, and able to teach us the stuff that is going to be useful and also have your spin/input on things.
Michael O’Connor, Student
The online resources (material and questions) were very helpful for post-course study. The trainers know their stuff but more importantly, tailor it to the individual learning style and pace.
Nick Dollin, Project Manager, Trimble
It was great how Millpond modified the process to fit with the business and showed us how to use it. The shared ownership of the final process gave us confidence in an effective outcome.
Quenton Johnston, Process Manager, OceanaGold Macraes Operation
A massive thanks for the course, you made what could have been quite a dry course (for those uninitiated to project management!) into something enjoyable, interesting, and even entertaining.
