Course feedback shows the success of the training delivery ...
CONTRACTS MANAGER: one of best training providers I've encountered
in almost 30 years in the industry.
SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER: I was initially worried about the length of the course and it being virtual, so it surprised me how effective and efficient it was. I preferred it to traditional classrooms and it had a good mix of interaction and exercises. I stayed engaged better and the sessions and five days went quickly. I enjoyed it and got some good learning and refreshment from both courses.
Following the training, risk management, earned value analysis, performance measurement and project reviews are all being implemented consistently and effectively on complex projects as part of the Shepley Way.
