Case study

“Being a Project Control Manager, I am responsible for Planning, Cost Control & Document Control in any project. I was project manager before and hence no hands on experience in Primavera. Hence it was felt that I should be doing this course to gain knowledge and start using the tool afterwards. The trainer was very good, a perfect teacher one would like to have.”
