Loved the practical tools I can enjoy.

The use of charts and sticky notes has shown me that there are better ways to illustrate and think about ideas instead of typing on the computer etc.

The most engaging, dynamic workshop I've ever been to. Except in 2016 haha!
Frank is a interesting presenter and made the learning fun
For myself who would use these skills on small projects within my own team some concepts went over my head. Although I like how it relates back to council. Simpler terms would have made it easier to sink in.
Very fast paced and covered a lot of ground. Very engaging and participatory. I will be satisfied if I remember half of it and implement half of that. Though I hope to do better than that.
I am new at PM so may have exceeded my comprehension in some areas, and or fast-track learning requires common sense. Whew!
Perfect.
High energy, not dull. Enjoyed the practical.
Worth the time, good 'take-away' technique
I found the overall day interesting. I will never look at charts and post-it notes the same again.

Course and delivery are really good. NB: Having already been on a course run by Frank my expectations were high - didn't disappoint, hence rating above met my expectations.
The topics covered can be related to our current environment. Principles discussed were usable and gave more confidence.
I need to remember this was an introductory course and doesn't fulfill every project management requirement.
Overall satisfaction: stress & bullying; playing above the line
You create a great learning environment, and are encouraging of discussion topics. Incorporating our real projects was a bonus as well.
Very practical course, with some of the techniques being used in the office already. Spreadsheets will be a great help.
Was full on, but worth it
