The trainers were very friendly and knowledgeable. However, the course did not quite meet my expectations, particularly in terms of the programme and the target audience. The first day was a little too basic for experts. The second day was more relevant to my needs. Nevertheless, it remains a very interesting course, though it is better suited to participants who are not experts in project, programme or portfolio management.

Day 1: interesting discussions but no theoretical framework to ground them. Day 2: lots of theory, but not really tailored to my needs, which were to get more practical tips and tricks on ‘how to be a good PMO’ and how to set up PMO activities in line with my company’s needs.The Teams training was complex, but the facilitator on the second day lacked energy (e.g. no camera, monotonous tone, simply reading from the slides).

It was an online course, certainly, but the second day lacked engagement and energy (e.g. the facilitator’s camera was never switched on). The practical exercises weren’t very challenging. I found the course materials used to be rather unclear: long paragraphs, a layout in need of improvement and unsuitable colours. There was far too much theory on the second day.
