The trainer’s teaching methods were effective; it was a good introduction to project management, which is a complex and technical subject. Given the technical nature of the subject, I would have preferred a chronological approach to project management rather than one organised into blocks.

The trainer’s personal experiences helped to bring the very dense content to life. Great exercise

The content was dense but rich in terms of knowledge-sharing. Florence, an expert who is passionate about her subject, guides us towards adopting a genuinely reflective approach – one that is both relevant and, above all, essential to project management – unlike a cut-and-paste lecture, which would offer no added value. Many thanks to Florence.
