“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.
