I took the course at the beginning of my first ever PM job. It was a great way to have a deep-dive and put some of what I learned into practice from day one!

I found Galen’s approach to teaching project management principles to be sensible and engaging. I felt that he thoroughly covers projects from start to finish and beyond. The course is also helpful if you’re working outside of digital project management, as the principals can be transferred to any industry, project or program planning. Thank you!

Galen and the DPM did a fantastic job identifying key topics and deep diving into each one with a high level overview that moves into a deeper hands on practice with real-world examples! I especially appreciated the templates and distinction of digital vs more traditional project management practice, and the thought and consideration that went into making meaningful assessments that evaluate performance in realistic scenarios. I feel very well prepared for many of the more challenging situations that come up in a project! Great work all around!

I really enjoyed taking this course, the content and delivery is just what I needed. I had recently received my PMP from PMI but it was not really in line with what I handle day to day. The course and assignments got into the nitty-gritty of what things are like on a day-to-day perspective. Galen delivers the information is a way that is engaging. I highly recommend this certification for anyone looking to expand their Digital PM skills.
