What will I get from a Live and Online course that I won't get from a (cheaper?) On-Demand course or YouTube?
Our Live and Online courses are an online classroom with a live instructor presenting slides, case studies, and facilitating discussion rather than a series of pre-recorded video lessons. That means that you get the benefit of being able to ask questions in real time of the instructor, of hearing your classmates’ questions and their experiences etc.
Many people also find that being part of a group in this way provides extra energy and motivation to study and often talk about the pleasure they get from meeting other people in similar roles at other companies. Not to mention the networking opportunities that it provides.
The slides used by our instructors are include material that we have found helpful as practitioners. We also provide >30 project Management templates and several other resources that you will find useful in your study or in your career.
