Training

PM Academy provided the PMP Exam Preparatory training based on their pedigree and reputation as a credible service provider that have provided project management training to blue chip government and private companies over the last 10 years.

On behalf of Save the Children South Africa I would like to thank the PM Academy for presenting the in-house PMD Pro course to a number of our staff.  The overwhelming response from participants were positive and has assisted them to gain an insight into some of the theory and practicalities of project management.

The Project Management Academy (PMA) for the past 3 years has catered for most learning interventions relating to project management. It has been our experience that the PMA has excellent facilitators with a thorough understanding of project management theory combined with practical project management experience. PMA has trained RAF employees (both Senior Management as well as professional project managers) in PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner, Project Manager training based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), Project Administration and Microsoft Project Scheduling. PM Academy has maintained excellent pass rates for all courses. I can recommend their services to anyone interested in a practical application around project management.

“The friendliness of office staff and the organised level of course presentation was professional.”

“What a great week!  Thanks to Jurie and his staff for a well conducted course … Now for the exam…”

“Great course, very knowledgeable facilitator and incredible venue.  Would recommend this to any aspiring project managers.”

“The facilitator was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to.  He made the course applicable to the learners.”

“The way Deon presented the course and explained everything in a very nice manner, helped me a lot.”

“I liked the fact that the gentleman gave me a tour of the facilities.  The facilitator showed interest in making me understand the content.”

“The semi-formal part of the workshop and making examples of what we are currently working on was helpful.”

Consulting

PM Academy delivered the consulting and training services with distinction.  All deliverables were of the highest quality and delivered within the specified timeframes and budget. Their professionalism was unsurpassed and they clearly demonstrated their expertise in portfolio, programme and project management.

Coega evaluated several tenders and commissioned PM Academy to conduct a Management Maturity Assessment for Programme and Project Management.  PM Academy produced a detailed Programme and Project Management Maturity Assessment report for review.  The PM Academy report was evaluated and unanimously accepted by Coega management.

In terms of project management, PM Academy is our preferred project management training partner and we have collaborated on a variety of project management consulting opportunities.  PM Academy has trained PricewaterhouseCoopers staff in PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner courses.  PM Academy has maintained an almost perfect pass record with our members of staff.

Recruitment

In terms of Recruitment of specifically IT, Senior Management and Project Management Resources, PM Academy is one of our preferred Recruitment Companies.  PM Academy has placed resources in our company and continues to provide us with quality candidates who are perfect for our environment.

Putting the right person in the right place has always been an important challenge for the HR profession. PM Academy understands the profession and its labour market, yet also took the effort to understand my aspirations, strong and weak points to match my talents with the perfect position and organisation. The interviews were conducted professionally and were very relevant to the project management profession.

Truly a memorable experience. Well done!
