"Even for the experienced Project Manager the courses and materials bring together the latest adaptive methodology and techniques. The course is well laid out and the fellow student participation allows international development professionals the opportunity to network and exchange experiences and knowledge that is unsurpassed. Students get the opportunity to interact with seasoned professionals that have anywhere from 3 to 20 years of field experience. I have yet to find any comparable training programs."
