What Our Clients Say

"We are thrilled to have chosen Watermark Learning for our 2015 Project Management Professional (PMP)® Boot Camp training! Watermark worked with us as a true partner, from day one. They took the time to understand our business, our trainees, expectations and our past training experiences. Watermark even scheduled time with our trainees well before the training date, to ensure our trainees were thoroughly prepared for the class. Our trainer is an industry expert when it comes to PMP®."

Mark Auletta
Sr. Director, Client Implementation, Optum Shared Services

"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."

Jay A. Masci
PMP, Provaliant Retirement, LLC

"The overall training and coaching provided by Watermark was very well done, with excellent training materials and case exercises...We have a high level of confidence in our skills and our process as we move forward with our project."

"This was absolutely the best class I've had in a long time (if ever). It was structured perfectly, flowed perfectly, labs fit course topics perfectly. The instructor was very professional and handled our rowdy group very politically. The course was the best I've ever had!"

Coaching and Mentoring

Whether or not your employees have taken Watermark Learning classes, you're invited to take advantage of our Coaching and Mentoring services to help move your business forward. And if you've already hosted onsite Watermark Learning classes at your organization, Coaching and Mentoring can be the next step to develop the skills your team members have learned. Watermark Learning offers Coaching and Mentoring in the areas of Agile and Scrum Implementation, Business Analysis, and Project Management for your business.

Watermark Learning can also provide coaching and mentoring for industry certification programs, such as CBAP® and CSM®. We will also be happy to meet with you to design a coaching/mentoring program custom-tailored to your needs.

Benefits of Coaching and Mentoring

"You don't know what you don't know, but our mentors do."

  • Developing and honing skills learned in our Agile & Scrum Training and Business Analysis Training classes.
  • Learning from the best – Our coaches and mentors, with an average of over 20 years of business experience, are also subject matter experts and instructors with a high level of expertise, ideas, and acquired skills.
  • Access to business experience – Regardless of what your team has done or is doing, chances are our mentors have already done something similar. You’ll avoid costly mistakes by learning how to do it right the first time.
  • A sounding board – A Watermark Learning mentor/coach helps your team to stay on track, check assumptions, generate new ideas, and provides support. Leverage their experience and knowledge for your own improved chances of success.

“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.”

— BD, Wyeth
