STUDENT REVIEWS
"Instructor was quick to grade and structured quiz questions and discussion questions very well! Thank you very much.”
“I now have a deeper understanding of how schedules are created, modified, and most importantly, communicated. This class has allowed me to speak up during our internal scheduling meetings and make suggestions about how to better communicate the 3 week look ahead and the master schedule so that our weekly subcontractor meeting runs more smoothly and efficiently.”
“I’ve feel as though I’ve learned an entire set of skills and acquired knowledge that can literally be used anywhere in the world!”
