“I would like to thank you Toby for well-organized and informative course. I enrolled in both courses and I enjoyed watching every minute, this course has changed my understanding of PMBOK . Great Work!" -Abdelrahman Sheta 
“Thank you Simon for creating and making this wonderful course available. The great thing about Udemy courses is that I can complete lecture by lecture and resume at a later date. Although I am currently teaching Microsoft Project, I have learnt a lot from Simon's course. His course takes you through a very structured and concise narration that it is very easy for those with basic intermediate Project skills to complete and pass and apply in their work. Most of all, I will be applying the new ideas and approaches learnt from Simon in my training. Thank you Simon! Cheers.” -Bobby Wan “This course really helped me sharpen my knowledge of MS Project 2013 and taking me to the next level. I love all the courses from Simon Sez IT.
