Jawad Haleem Very concise guide on mentoring; Perhaps just perfect duration and to the point content; Review questions/quizzes/assignments tested knowledge very accurately. Delivery by the instructor kept interest going as well.
Nguyen Phuoc Hao The instructor is clearly a subject matter expert with a wealth of experience. Contents are valuable, and delivered effectively and professionally. Assignments, quizzes and final test provide opportunity for real reflection and application of learning material. This course is suitable for people on all levels of management. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in growing their mentoring competencies.
Robert Parkinson Great experience, well worth the time, some of the assignments were great to actually ponder on and useful to have the examples that JeanAnn gave too, as some i answered didnt hit the mark but then i could see where i should have gone with the answers =)
