Andrew Wright at Project Advantage has been an excellent trainer and mentor on my journey in becoming a Project Manager. I was working as an Administration Officer on small projects at a University when I decided on a career path of becoming a Project Manager. I enrolled and completed my Diploma of Project Management in 2012 through Andrew and he was exceptional in guiding me through the qualification with intense training and consultation.

After completing my qualification and a variety of short courses focusing on project introduction, scope management, time cost and resource management, risk management, communications management, quality and contracts management. My understanding of project management disciplines and their application into the workplace is now very clear and has built my confidence considerably. Throughout the training, Andrew gave valuable examples of best practice project management governance including systems, templates and suitable methodologies relevant to different project types. Andrew also provided me with templates to fill the planning gaps that suited my project situation at the time.

I had a skills gap in project scheduling using Microsoft Project. Following an intensive 2 day course I am now able to comfortably set up and create new projects focusing on tasking, resourcing and tracking. This has taken considerable pressure off me as my current employer has recently increased my workload, most of which requires at least intermediate skills in Microsoft Project 2010.

I can definitely say that I’d recommend Andrew Wright – Project Advantage to anyone. Andrew was critical to me developing my new career path in Project Management and I am now successfully employed as Project Manager working across IT Infrastructure Projects. Overall, I very much enjoyed training with Andrew and am in regular contact with Andrew who offers free project mentoring and support on any occasion I am stuck with difficult project problems or issues.
