Bakang Joseph Pearce Joseph

Trainer did an excellent job in terms of explaining Prince2 Agile, each concept separately and the blend. Also, the exam tips were very useful. I highly recommend a few interactive sessions within the group for foundation as it was too theoretical for first two days.

Sonali Chauhan

Great trainer, very knowledgeable and detailed. used real world examples and spent time explaining concepts.
