What past students think

Ermias Zerfu

Past Student
I recently started a new job at a bank, and my colleagues often mention how organized I am. At first, I thought my way of working was normal and that everyone managed their tasks like that. But I quickly realized that’s not the case. The principles I learned during the Project Management Foundation course have become so ingrained in my daily routine that I don’t even notice them anymore. This has really impressed my supervisors and has earned me a lot of trust from both my team and clients. Trust is crucial in the banking sector, and the skills I gained from the course have definitely helped me excel in this new role.
