CLOSE BIO
"I have enjoyed Pat's real world examples and the short-cuts are very valuable. Will look forward to practicing what I have learned and continue working on my proficiency of the MS-PM 2003 version. I personally need to spend at least the next few months to practice and continue spending that time on learning the PM capabilities. This coarse is a good foundation to start with and grow from there to a successful future in Project Management. This was a great experience !!! "
Ralph Moebus - CSL Behring
"Pat explained everything very thoroughly and provided great examples of real life instances where all of the information could be applied. He was friendly and able to answer all questions. The center was very professional and I would recommend the Training Connection! Hope I can come back."
Lora Sundberg - The Rise Group
"Pat was great! He didn't simply go over the software the entire time, rather he applied real world project management philosophies and PMI standards to the lessons which kept the class completely interested. Also the staff, Allyncia was probably one of the most pleasant and nice and helpful people I have ever encountered. No joke. She is a keeper on staff! I will definitely think of Training Connection FIRST for my future training needs and desires. Thanks to Pat and the team!"
