Testimonial for PL Projects training team
I wanted to say thank you very much for your support, guidance and encouragement on the Project Management Qualification. I really enjoyed the course and your company. The delivery was brilliant and I just wish that all courses and training opportunities could be more like this! Really inspired to take the next move in my career.
Katie H.Programme PlannerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Mike taught my Project Management Qualification course a good few years ago and it was great. I remember enjoying it from start to end and got so much out of it. Would highly recommend.
Sharon Fielden.Project ManagerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Been on a couple of courses with these two characters (Mike and Paul). Their approach to delivering the courses is done with a sense of humour, which I found really refreshing, funny, enjoyable, interesting and very informative. Would highly recommend.
Tom Mcleod.Lead EngineerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Mike and Paul’s attitudes made the learning so much easier for me. Wouldn’t hesitate in attending any course these guys were running.
Matt Fry.Contract ManagerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Could not praise PL Projects enough! Fantastic delivery – extremely knowledgeable and Mike and Paul both made the whole experience of gaining the APM PMQ intensive but fun. Great team!
Victoria Ashcroft.Project ManagerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
I found the course very useful and I think Mike and Paul did a great job in delivering the topic in a fun and engaging way. Moving from physical sessions to online was also done seamlessly in trying circumstances. Mike and Paul went above and beyond in offering time to talk us through subjects on a one-to-one basis in the weeks leading up to the exam which I found very helpful. I would definitely recommend to others!
Titus Carey.Leeds City CouncilTestimonial for PL Projects training team
I got 92% in the PFQ exam, which I was over the moon about! The course itself was very well put together, Mike and Paul did a great job of delivering the content. I felt at ease going into the exam having prepped over the 3 days. The resources were really helpful. Overall the experience was great and I’m really glad I got the opportunity to partake!
Graduate Student.NHSTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The trainers’ wealth of knowledge and experience in project management shone through, which made the learning experience enjoyable. Their communication style kept me engaged and their use of “real world” projects and related examples has allowed me to effectively implement project management approaches in the project environment. I now feel confident to undertake the PMQ and am more than happy to fully recommend PLP as the “go-to” APM project management training provider.
Project Coordinator.Construction CompanyTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Under the circumstances, the software used to present the information made me feel I was in a classroom setting in the comfort of my own home. The training team taught the information in a fun yet professional manner. The addition of practice exams was very helpful and gave me the confidence I needed to pass the course!
Project Management Undergraduate.Leeds Beckett UniversityTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The course itself was very well put together, Mike and Paul did a great job of delivering the content. They both took the time to run their sections and the conversations were open and honest, they were both very supportive throughout. I felt at ease going into the exam having prepped over the 3 days. The resources were really helpful, and even better that we got to keep them to look back on. Overall the experience was great and I’m really glad I got the opportunity to partake.
Project Management Undergraduate.Leeds Beckett UniversityTestimonial for PL Projects training team
A huge thank you to PL Projects as a whole, but just wanted to say a specific thank you to you, as our main facilitator. I found the sessions massively helpful, and you are very friendly and approachable, which helped me to feel confident and comfortable to ask questions on topics I was unsure of. Every session was engaging and interesting, and your knowledge of PM is incredible, I’ve definitely taken a lot away from them, and hope I can be that knowledgeable as my career progresses!
More than anything, you genuinely seem passionate and interested in helping ‘my generation’ to develop into successful, confident PM’s, which is really inspiring. Had to fit some music trivia in this email somewhere, in true Mark fashion! 😊Eve Ryan-Smith.StanceTestimonial for PL Projects training team
I had a highly positive experience with the APM Risk Level 1 and 2 Training course. Alan and the rest of the course leaders did a great job of covering the syllabus criteria needed to attain the APM qualifications, whilst still conveying the range and subtleties actually involved in practising risk management.
The group discussion/workshop-style sessions supported in-depth discussion of case studies and areas of uncertainty, as well as empowering everyone to engage and receive critical feedback.Lily Pochin.StudentTestimonial for PL Projects training team
When my team at Leeds City Council shifted direction, I took the opportunity to pursue this apprenticeship. The experience deepened my understanding of my role, improved my communication skills, and helped me adapt quickly. The balance of off-the-job and on-the-job training was key, making tasks clearer and more manageable. PLP’s support, especially with portfolio work, was invaluable. Now, as a Senior Project Officer, I’m more confident and ready to advance further. I highly recommend this apprenticeship for career growth – it’s challenging but incredibly rewarding, with the right support.
Lisa Hackett.Leeds City CouncilTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The knowledge Jess has picked up from the qualification has allowed her to deliver the project in a highly structured manner with very little supervision. She is professional and confident and has strong stakeholder management skills, all of which have been enhanced by the qualification. Jess’ management of the project has been complimented on regularly by senior stakeholders.
Eleanor Wood.Project Leader, Leeds City CouncilTestimonial for PL Projects training team
This course allowed me to expand my knowledge of the risk management process and feel more comfortable with approaching risk management in my project management role – especially when it comes to articulating risks in a more succinct sentence. Alan is very knowledgeable and helped answer any questions of practical application as we discussed the theory. The course materials were very useful and the group conversations engaging and effective in consolidating the learning.
Jane Lyon.Marketing Manager, Achieve TogetherTestimonial for PL Projects training team
There is a lot to learn in a short space of time, but the trainers make it so much easier to understand with the inclusion of real-life example and exercises as part of a team. This helps make the information very useful regardless of you career stage or vocation. The training team make themselves very available and are happy to take time to ensure all participants understand the material.
Jane Lyon.Marketing Manager, Achieve TogetherTestimonial for PL Projects training team
I have greatly benefitted from this apprenticeship, developing my PM knowledge, skills and progressing in my career. It provided context in use of PM tools and techniques, and why they are important for project delivery. I apply my newly acquired skills at work, making me a valuable team member, with more confidence, ability to lead and deliver success in project environment.
PLP Training Team’s flexibility and help was reassuring and confidence inspiring with my EPAs, along with my hard work, leading to a distinction.Libbi Watson.Level 4 APMA ApprenticeTestimonial for PL Projects training team
From the moment I started my apprenticeship, the Training Team at PLP were there for me every step of the way. They patiently answered my endless questions, provided constructive feedback on my work, and offered invaluable insights that helped me grow and develop as a professional. The trainers wealth of knowledge and experience was a constant source of inspiration, pushing me to strive for excellence in everything I did. There were times when I questioned whether I had what it takes to succeed. But whenever I felt overwhelmed, PLP reminded me of my potential. I was supported not just academically but I also got emotional support when I needed it.
Catherine Scott.APMA ApprenticeTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The apprenticeship has been really helpful in providing me with specific project management tools that I can apply to my work. Prior to the apprenticeship I was implementing some of the practice informally, however it has given me the opportunity to formalise my way of working which has made it a lot more efficient.
Rachel.Award Winning Level 4 APMA ApprenticeTestimonial for PL Projects training team
I thought that apprenticeships were for people just out of high school or college, I didn’t really think that apprenticeship were for the (slightly) more mature students like myself. Even though it was hard work at times, the knowledge and experience gained during the apprenticeship has been invaluable and will stand me in good stead in my future career.
Annette.Level 4 APMA ApprenticeTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Thank you very much for your support, guidance and encouragement on the PMQ. I really enjoyed the course and your company. The delivery was brilliant and I just wish that all courses and training opportunities could be more like this! It has really inspired me to take the next move in my career.
Katie.Programme PlannerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
Undertaking APM Risk Level 1 training with PLP was a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
The content was pitched at the correct level and the group exercises drew out some interesting conversation and real-world examples. As a Senior Project Manager, the course served as a timely recap of current best practice and is ideal for those looking to sharpen their skills or as a precursor to undertaking the Level 2 training.Jamie O’Reilly.Senior Project ManagerTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The apprenticeship helped me reconnect with my project management experience and apply it in a more structured way to improve how our team works.
Gemma Mather.Project Officer, Leeds City CouncilTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The apprenticeship formalised the skills I was already using and gave me the confidence to apply project management principles more effectively in my role.
Patrick Mulcahy.Community Safety Programme Manager, Leeds City CouncilTestimonial for PL Projects training team
The apprenticeship gave me the confidence, knowledge and recognised project management skills to progress into a role I hadn’t thought possible.
Kiri Shaw.Project Leader – Adult & Health Service Transformation, Leeds City CouncilTestimonial for PL Projects training team
