Really enjoyed the training, Dave worked really fast though. It was a bit tough keeping up at some times but was still worth it. - Absolutely love the enthusiasm and friendliness of the company. Really happy with the service
Great in-depth lessons. Very informative, Dave was engaging the entire time. Highly suggested. Nice, presentable format and accompanying resources for the lessons. Great value.
He explained the project life cycle in detail. I felt he was knowledgeable however at times the online presentation did get boring. To better this I believe interactive sessions amongst the presenter and attendees will make it more engaging and exciting.
Friendly and professional. Excellent support.
Dave is very knowledgeable and was very keen to answer questions while presenting the course.
Dave was an excellent speaker discussing the many aspects of the Project Management Plan that was oriented towards Construction oriented Professionals. I greatly appreciated that he covered subjects that were not in the PMBOK but could be needed on real life projects. I also greatly appreciated the references to where to find professional templates and forms that could be accessed when needed. This was my first experience with Tacit Skills and it was seamless that Dave was presenting in one part of the world at night and I was clear across the globe watching and conversing during the class totally unaware of the difference in location or time.
Dave was excellent. He expectedly presented the course with confidence. The course was well organized by Tacit Skills.
The trainer was very knowledgeable in project management and has excellent presentation skills
Excellent and well-tailored presentation, keep it up Dave!
