I have a strong interest in BIM Management but only limited background in Project Management, so I decided to enroll in this course. It turned out to be an excellent choice—one of the best I’ve taken on Udemy. The course is well-structured, insightful, and I especially appreciate the practical approach and captivating teaching style. Highly recommended!

I would say that this instructor has a LOT of knowledge, and he uses amusing anecdotes that illustrate his points well. However, I sometimes get lost in the transitions between his points, and wonder if I missed something or not. Then I have to go back and re-listen to parts of the lecture to make sure I got everything. It definitely makes the course take longer than the stated 7.5 hours.

This is one of the several courses I have completed which are offered by Jamal. I like the course because of Jamal's lay back and straight forward talk about the practical project management. The instructor is obviously talking from his own vast experience as a Project Manager and provides great hands-on examples and information related to the project management. It is great course for not so experienced Project Management professionals or aspiring Project Managers.

I am taking a project management course now at one of my local universities. It's a very good course. We're learning quite bit. Compare it to this guy - omg - this dude is so boring. I'll check out a few more lessons, but if it doesn't pick up, I won't finish it.
