Review about: Shaw Academy
Project Management Course
Ok, so this is the free trial bit Module 1 comprising of 8 sessions. All online as is to be expected. In all fairness, I don't need to do the complete course as I wanted just to get a basic understanding of the subject - so I can talk to project managers. They definitely are keen to get you on board and make sure you do the course, stand by for lots of texts, emails reminding you of your booked sessions. Booking your sessions is very easy and flexible too, if you miss it you can always watch the video later. Actually had an internet issue 2nd lesson, although I couldn't get back in the video was available about 15 minutes later so wasn't an issue. Content is good - perhaps a little quick but because you can go back and review the lesson this isn't a problem as in the review bit you can pause/rewind etc. For me the course is informative and I'm following it comfortably. Downsides, well they are constantly trying to sell me 'the toolkit' which contains extra notes and a lesson, however, I have no idea how to evaluate it because I'm not really sure what's in it and at £40 too much for a punt, what also dissuades me is that the course cerificate is also £40, surely with any course that should be included, how come I can buy it before doing the course and £40 for a download?? At that price I want it gold inlaid and delivered by a butler. Little bit negative on the hard sale there, but generally I am anti hard sales techniques, you might be different. The course though is good and informative and at £0 you can't argue the price. My original thought was to do the free bit and that would be enough, I am now considering paying for the next modules so they are doing something right!
