Testimonials

"Experience of the instructor & students was good. The course showed several paths I haven't yet explored to manage projects."

"Mentor was extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. Gave me a foundation for a 'plan' to bring back. I think it is a great way to do business offering mentoring and the possibility of a "custom" course. Your staff has been great. Very helpful and very well informed about the courses."

"Seminar leader unquestionably knowledgeable of the subject matter. This class was perhaps one of the best I've attended from PMI Seminars. The knowledge of the subject matter expert (Instructor) was very evident. The pace and quality were right on."

"Loved the class. Learned a ton since the whole process was new to me. I always like the group projects."

"I really enjoyed the instructor. She was clear in her presentation. We never felt stupid asking her any questions. A great teacher."

"Provaliant brought Watermark Learning in to conduct Business Processing Modeling training for my staff. It was by far the most well-received training that we have ever had, with the most active participation in class activities by all of the Provaliant staff. It became apparent to my staff and me that that the material, instructor and/or presentation in classes we have had from other vendors was just not of high quality, impairing our ability to learn. With the Watermark instructor it was just the opposite, her professionalism and experience aided in making this a true learning experience for my staff."
