Abdullahi Farah, Save the Children International, Somalia
"It was a great experience, I didn’t thought I would learn this much! I will use a lot of the information and methodologies in my organization, and suggest a lot of adjustments since management can improve our projects execution substantially. The course totally fulfilled my expectations! And you learn not only from the materials and the tutor, but from all the participants, there is a lot of experience shared that would be very useful for each other."
Karina Antezana, Bolivia

Liban Muse Said, Save the Children. Somalia
"The learning materials in this course were well designed and easy to follow. I mostly enjoyed this e-course because we received constant guidance and lot of practical hints on valuable management tools. The schedule keeps you quite busy but it's anyhow feasible to respect the deadlines and to complete the course within the three weeks."
Stefania Rigillo, Malaria Consortium. Italy
"Looking forward to other courses that PM4DEV has to offer."
Delores Thomas, Barbados
"This was my first online course and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I learned so much from the textbook and from the thoughtful insight of my classmates. Active participation was encouraged and resulted in some very interesting discussions. I would highly recommend this course and look forward to putting my new knowledge and insight to use!"
Madeline Stark, USA
"Excellent course! I advise every development professional who is interested to improve her/his skills to take the course Effective Project Management for Development. Special thanks to Rodolfo, a very motivating teacher, who will keep you engaged till the end."
Joke Sijbesma, Netherlands
"This is the most practical and realistic Project Management Course I have come across. The assignments and discussions helped demystify key project documents and process and really build student confidence. I'm not only enlightened, but I now feel confident enough to take on project management responsibilities. I intend to take two more courses to upgrade my certification."
Willie Ngumi, GSM, Kenya
"Project Management was like rocket science to me before I studied this course. Having served in diverse projects as a subject matter expert, my experiences have always been fraught with lots of questions, than answers as to what it takes to manage a successful project. This course has opened all the dark and blind spots in project management which was more or less a mirage to me. Suffice it to say that, I now clearly understand what project management is all about from initiation to completion. I am confident I will be an asset in my upcoming assignment in Botswana. Moreover, the course methodology was quite inclusive and flexible, creating a conducive platform for learning and sharing, notably in the discussion forum.
Its international representation is quite impressive as it brings together a pool of professionals who share diverse experiences from different project environments across the globe. Besides, the course instructor was quite exceptional with respect to the measure of help and support we received throughout the course. The overall experience was exceptionally enriching and worth the time. This course is an unequal match with its monetary value in terms of the wealth of knowledge one gets out of it."
Raphael Ebot Ayuk, WUSC. Canada

“Since starting my course in project management, it has been an exceptional experience. I always learn new skills. This is part of my personal professional development. My current role requires skills in project management, and the PM4Dev offers an excellent, easy to learn platform. My next goal is getting my certification in development project management. “ Roger Kabuya, London Intercommunity Health Center – Canada
“This is a super practical course - very hands-on. I appreciated it a lot to have the opportunity of studying EPM at PM4DEV. I will start working as Director of a Cultural Centre next year and especially in the planning phase of the management processes it will be very useful for me to use the provided and discussed tools. I would even appreciate if participants of pm4dev courses could continue discussing and maybe also profit from Coaching until the next course starts, thanks a lot!” Konstanze Kampfer, Goethecenter, CCMA Maputo - Mozambique
