When we asked Cheetah Learning students what was the most valuable thing about the Cheetah Certified Project Manager Program, here's what they had to say...

Testimonials

"The most valuable part of the course for me, aside from learning an elegantly simple variation on PMBOK that is applicable to any project, was how the course insisted that I use myself as the sample project. I learned how to rank the array of often conflicting goals that we all have in our busy and complex lives, and determine what was most important to me to change, as well as the likelihood that I’d be able to make that change. Ultimately, I felt that the course was as much about how to understand and work with human nature as it is about project methodology, and the methods worked. Take this course seriously – it’s worth so much. Thanks, Cheetah."

"I appreciate that the Cheetah courses bring together work/life balance. By encouraging a focus on personal and professional goals, I am better able to "perform" in my career and my personal life."

"The focus on project management as a support for life skills rather than purely for project management improvement is the goal for the course."

“The most valuable part of the course was realizing that most of the issues I've been dealing with in my life are due to poor planning and follow through. With this class, I have made my goals my priority, and ensure follow through by visiting and re-assessing regularly. What a difference it has made! Results are coming at Cheetah speed!”
