Oh wow! I am so happy to say that I received my PMP certificate ! The four days I spent in my PMP certification training were four joyful days of my life. I learnt so much from our lovely trainer. He is an example of whom to emulate in life! I especially loved learning about mitigating project risks. I will put that to good use in my organisation. The PMP certification training was held at a particularly picturesque venue. We bonded so well as a little group during all the sessions. The PMP certification training was bursting full of activity, and I have never enjoyed myself more! All thanks to Knowlathon, I now even have my PMP certificate, and shouldn’t Knowlathon be proud !
I did my PMP certification training from Knowlathon. They are literally the best! I was so nervous about my promotion,I felt something was missing. The missing piece of the puzzle was precisely my PMP certification, that I completed thanks to Knowlathon. Always the best trainers here. So was our awe inspiring trainer who led us through the course with his wise words. I found everything I trained on over four days, completely relatable. Not only do I have a certificate to prove my skills, but also I have much more to give to my organisation ! All down to you guys, Knowlathon!
I spent four wonderful days in the company of our knowledgable trainer, and our group, and I am much the more happy for it.I even achieved the feat of getting my PMP Certificate! The PMP certification training course is a very well designed endeavour by Knowlathon. I learnt so much ! I especially loved the examples our trainer gave, they fit so perfectly with what I know by experience. Even the Sales representatives here are so empathetic and polite, it makes it all well worth the effort. Knowlathon is an experience I highly recommend !
