| About the learning materials
What did you think of the workbook?
Very creative, consistent theme.
— Pieter Malan, Autumn Leaf IT
Very graphic and fun.
— Lucius Kriel, Realcor Cape
Good.
— Pieter Visser, Basileus Capital (Pty) Ltd.
A little bemused at first but it grew on me. I think it helped focus on the work rather than any "personalities".
— Ryan Tracey, CatalytIQ
Simple - concise - and with good clear flow.
— Douglas Craythorne, Contemporary Concrete
Creative, well thought out, complete.
— Anna Shevel, Global Carbon Exchange
Fun and easy to follow.
— Alan Maguire, Peerpower
The hand drawn / freestyle format was refreshing. It made me feel that I need to be creative too.
— Wicus Ross, Traderoot Technologies
OK.
— Lizzie Anderson
Informative and practical.
— Participant
Interesting! I love the animations, kept it lively as opposed to a conventional black and white typed workbook, which gets boring quickly. Well done!
— Elnedene Arnoldi, AfriGIS (Pty) Ltd - Cape Town
The workbook is interesting.
— Gladys Mirugi-Mukundi, Institute of Security Studies
Great.
— Peter van Houweninge, Midnight White
Adequate.

What could be improved?

— Pieter Malan, Autumn Leaf IT
(The participant did not answer this question.)
— Lucius Kriel, Realcor Cape
More space maybe.
— Pieter Visser, Basileus Capital (Pty) Ltd.
Perhaps, more rows in the blank Gantt diagrams. Not that we needed them. ;-)
— Ryan Tracey, CatalytIQ
The example for the project work on day two could be simpler for working through basic principles.
— Douglas Craythorne, Contemporary Concrete
*Sometimes there was too much lecturer talking so I found it hard to focus - perhaps short pauses could allow for more intake. Not sure as I also train and haven't figured this out yet.
*Aircon was cold on day 1.
— Anna Shevel, Global Carbon Exchange
Detailed planning C9a - felt it came in the wrong place - it summarises later info.
— Alan Maguire, Peerpower
Cannot think of anything.
— Wicus Ross, Traderoot Technologies
(The participant did not answer this question.)
— Lizzie Anderson
Explaining the structure a bit more - maybe definitions.
— Participant
(The participant did not answer this question.)
— Elnedene Arnoldi, AfriGIS (Pty) Ltd - Cape Town
* The diagrams in the workbook
* The details - a little more content would be great.
— Gladys Mirugi-Mukundi, Institute of Security Studies
I think there should be a five minute break, half way between each two-hour session. Two hours lends itself to lapses in concentration.

Indeed!! Would have liked some take-home homework quiz after day one and day two.
— Gladys Mirugi-Mukundi, Institute of Security Studies
Marginally.
— Peter van Houweninge, Midnight White
Yes.

Yes, to reflect on what was learnt.
— Danjo Grové , AngloGold Ashanti Kopanang Mine
Yes.
— Jaques Snyders

Adequate.

Explain the questions from students.

Engage and described issues well. Created friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

She involves every participant.
— Jaques Snyders
What could she have done better?
Do not undersell yourself - there were times when you talked yourself down.
— Pieter Malan, Autumn Leaf IT
Explain the Gantt chart more in depth (ultimate goal).
— Lucius Kriel, Realcor Cape
Maybe more practical examples. But saying that this if I need to comment, not really an issue.
— Pieter Visser, Basileus Capital (Pty) Ltd.
Perhaps just frame the practicals in a clearer way; be clear on general versus work specific to Fifi, etc.
— Ryan Tracey, CatalytIQ
With the project on the final day ( workshop) do a bit - revise - then move on.
— Douglas Craythorne, Contemporary Concrete
XXXX
— Anna Shevel, Global Carbon Exchange
Greater preparation of examples so that they relate directly and clearly to the issue being discussed.
— Alan Maguire, Peerpower
Give us more time!!
— Wicus Ross, Traderoot Technologies
(The participant did not answer this question.)
— Lizzie Anderson
No comment.
— Participant
Sometimes she speeded up a little toward the end of a sentence and also lowered the volume but other than that she was excellent.
— Elnedene Arnoldi, AfriGIS (Pty) Ltd - Cape Town
The explanations of main terms should have been clearer ie. break it down to the elements.
— Gladys Mirugi-Mukundi, Institute of Security Studies
Nothing really - great job.

Wanted to reaffirm principles!
— Pieter Visser, Basileus Capital (Pty) Ltd.
Had seen Tania speak at a geek ( or 27) dinner and thought she'd have a good approach to teaching! As expected, she did!

What Tania said made sense - do the two days before doing the MS Project Training.
— Douglas Craythorne, Contemporary Concrete
Course description and cost suited my needs.
— Anna Shevel, Global Carbon Exchange
Referral (from Mignon Keyser (Lotz) )

Convenient dates and only two days which was appealing.

There is a spot opening at the company I work for as a PM assistant and I'm interested in PM.
— Participant
A need to have "Project Management" defined (And the workshop did exactly that!)
— Elnedene Arnoldi, AfriGIS (Pty) Ltd - Cape Town
I needed to have clarity on project management as a whole before I could decide if I need certification; and if so which kind.
— Gladys Mirugi-Mukundi, Institute of Security Studies
I run my own business and thought I could probably benefit from the course/ workshop.
— Peter van Houweninge, Midnight White
