Mike was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Enjoyed the environment he created during the training and kept things lively over the full 5 days. Really enjoyed Mike’s teaching style and sense of humor.

I am so thankful I did my course through Falcon. Signing up and admin was easy. The trainers, Kristie and Mike, were knowledgeable, friendly, and took time to get to know each of us… I am gutted my time with Falcon has ended I really enjoyed it!

Mike was really great, he really did understand a lot about the topics, this really helped with our questions and learning. He was encouraging, inclusive, and supportive of each of us. It is not easy to train complex topics and repetitive content so Mike did really well intercepting with stories and keeping content fresh and interesting.

Mike is fantastic and is opening my eyes up to the subject of project management. His experience(s) sound amazing and it is so great to be taught by someone who is actively working in this area. Thank you.

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.

Mihaela Mihalache

, Open Country Dairy

Excellent course. A lot better than expected. I imagine a dry, preachy course about the ‘benefits of Agile’ and how to ‘do Agile’ as cooked up from some ivory tower. It was great to see the material and content sourced from the various luminaries of the Agile movement. Very impressed.

Peter Joseph

PMI-ACP Delegate

Training content was delivered very well at a very good pace.

Ranadheer Kerkal

PMI-ACP Delegate

Course content was good and Mike has really good understanding of the concepts and very nice way of explaining them.

PMI-ACP Delegate

Mike is very knowledgeable and approachable. I would attend other training sessions where he’s the primary trainer.

Alvin Yap

, PMI-ACP Delegate

A great course overall, I would highly recommend it to my colleagues and anyone interested in learning the basics of good Project Management.

Anthony Nixon

, IT Online

The enthusiasm of the trainers was excellent; they made the relatively dry course material as fun as it possibly could be.

Alan Ofsoski

, MB Century

I thoroughly enjoyed James insight into this topic, I felt comfortable asking questions and those questions were answered very well

Divya Malhotra

, OJI Fibre Solutions

There is a lot of material to go over, splitting it over 5 weeks is great

Justin Loza

, Sky TV

James was open, honest and encouraging. His industry examples were genuine and relevant.

Mandy Dalziel

, Aurora Energy

Good course pitched at a general overview level but great for enabling a group from an organisation to come together and consider where collaborative improvements could be made within the organisation
