Parallel Project Training Reviews

Lisa really positive, honest and engaging. Appreciated all her support.

Well received, sometimes struggled to keep up with the speed of the Course. Lisa was very good.

Lisa presented the course very well but felt rushed as it would be better delivered over more days. Trying to fit the extra time required to revise was challenging due to work and home commitments

Lisa has been excellent, clear and supportive and draws on her own experience as a PM. I have found the pace a bit too quick at times but can't attribute this to Lisa - show has a certain amount of content to deliver in a certain amount of time and in that context, she has shown much skill in ensuring that we have the required amount of content to meet learning objectives. I think the course design would benefit form allowing more time for reflection and feedback. Not a fan of the scoring grids as they don't allow for context (which is required if you have the answer wrong) - Again, this is not a reflection on Lisa; Lisa has always taken time to answer queries and provide fuller explanation if requested.

The course was taught well but the time is too tight. There should be more time allowed as the trainer was racing through the topics at times.

Although the course covered a dense amount of material, Lisa’s teaching style and delivery were exceptional. She created a supportive environment that really helped reduce my anxiety about the exam.

The trainer was excellent, and delivered the course very much in line with the materials whilst being personable, engaging and knowledgeable. She was particularly good at responding to questions and allowing time for this. My main criticism of the course (NOT of the trainer) is that was it too exam focused. For me the exam is a bonus to demonstrate the learning - worth having, but not the main point in itself and not the main thing my employer was paying for. I could probably get 60% on the test with an hour's study, learning by rote, whilst having little understanding of to apply it. What I really wanted was to understand how the tools could be useful practically. We covered *some* of that, but we were always focused on the exam as the end goal with more emphasis on how we could pass an exam about x concept than how we could you concept x in practice. As stated though it was still an enjoyable and useful course - this criticism is why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. Just to also emphasise that the trainer was 5* throughout.

Enjoyed the course provided by Ruth, thanks very much

Paul's training approach was very engaging and informative, it has been an enjoyable experiance

The course was presented in a very professional manner, very good experience overall.
