The Institute of Project Management provided access to a very well structured learning environment with extremely competent and dedicated lecturers as well as all the IT support team. They always answered questions very diligently. Each lecture was tailored to suit the students needs and the use of Moodle as the platform was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and hope to enroll in another course in the future with them again.
