Ex-Student Recommending institute for project management courses

Project management consultant sharing his experience with institute

Female manager talks about how she enjoyed taking courses at IPM

Male account manager sharing his thought on Institute's programme

Female Ex student at Institute recommends taking IPMA certified courses

I'd highly recommend the Institute of Project Management

I've been working in Tech for 8 years now and the Agile Project Management class turned into a huge unlock for me, it was the way our dev teams have been doing business and the environment we work in the entire time. I look forward to getting my next PM credential from you.

At the forefront in leading project management concepts and best practices

My experience of completing the programme is that the course is to the forefront in leading project management concepts and best practices for delivering projects effectively in the today's business world.

Excellent CPD training provider

I have now taken the intro to project management & the Certified Project Management Diploma and really enjoyed both courses. Working in the NGO sector I believe all senior managers should have a grounding in PM. I will be recommending this qualification & provider to the managers I support.

I would highly recommend choosing this Institute as a learning provider

The caliber of lecturers is very high and the course content, material and delivery are excellent. I've taken the PMP preparation course and passed on the 1st attempt. The Diploma in Strategic Project & Programme Management was equally excellent with relevant use cases, course work, and high quality lectures over a diverse range of topics.

Very knowledgeable lecturers and very relevant information

I would highly recommend the IPMA Certified Project Management Diploma course. Very knowledgeable lecturers and I have gained a wealth of knowledge having completed the course. Very relevant information, giving me the skills I needed to move forward with my project management responsibilities. Thanks to everyone at the institute!
