Wenell brings out project skills - can it be true?
We regularly receive positive feedback from participants in our courses. In the latter half of 2005 we had just over 500 participants, who ranked our courses on an average of 9.1–9.5 on a scale of ten. This, and the fact that most participate on the recommendation of a colleague, is the best proof that our courses are highly appreciated.
However, it is one thing if the participants are positive right at the end of a course, when course evaluations are usually done. It is quite another to see how they perceive the value of their new knowledge and skills after putting them into use. So in spring 2005, we did an evaluation of benefits, contacting course participants six months to two years after the course to ask how valuable Applied project management was in their daily work. The response was fantastic and made us quite proud.
Nearly half of the people we contacted responded to the survey. Of them, 84% had used their knowledge and over 90% said that they benefited greatly or very greatly from the course in their daily work.
