Testimonials

I worked with the accounting and finance domains multiple functions and transited many processes from across the globe to India. I also participated in the transition and gap analysis team. This encouraged me to take a project management course. This course also will help me to understand the process flow of all the activities as well as make me a decision-maker whenever required. Also during the program, we learn many techniques that help any project's continuation. Multiple case studies and different prospects from many participants also support project analysis. I recommend the course to future aspirants for growth and knowledge. Thank you Times Pro and IIMI.
