Testimonials

I attended the Agile Project Management in Practice. Although I've had experience in Agile over a number of years, I did not have a solid grounding which this training provided me. I saw the link, the connection and it enriched my experiences. We have had lots of hands-on activities with team exercises which was super useful.

I attended the PMI-ACP Exam Prep course. It was very well taught despite being 100% virtual. Dr. Sanath made the class interactive and the interesting, providing real-world examples. I was supported in my certification journey beyond the class with study group, live whatsapp chat support, reading materials, live portal, mock quizes, etc. I am happy that I obtained my PMI-ACP certification in the following month. Thank you Dr. Sanath!

I feel very good after attending the Leadership and Personal Development course. I highly recommend others to join if they would like to identify their weakness and strong points.
