Training

MTU Cork have engaged Aspira to form part of the panel of industry lecturers that deliver the Diploma in Project Management for the last 13 years. The trainers we engaged were very thorough and professional in the delivery of this course and had a vast array of experience and well-rounded skills and knowledge placing emphasis on the quality of training. The Diploma receives very positive feedback from trainees on a consistent basis. In particular, Aspira's lecturers have been commended on their knowledge, breadth of experience and ability to convey it in a practical way in a classroom setting.

I passed my CAPM exam in July 2020. The course is quiet broad and with work demands increasing, I hadn’t invested the amount of time into study that was needed. A few months before the exam, I did the virtual Exam Prep course with Aspira. For me, it was really made the difference in passing the exam. It condensed the areas of study into more manageable pieces and the trainer walked us through question banks covering the various topics as well as providing links to numerous others to complete offline. The trainer was very accessible and helpful and cut through the jargon and fog that is so often associated with these kind of areas. I would highly recommend both the course and Gillian as the course provider.

Our experience with Aspira Project Management training has not only been professional but excellently delivered. The course material covered was well organised, thorough and very practical in terms of applying to real life projects at Hovione.

The training was engaging, had the right level of interaction, was fun and even the more complex topics were made light and easy to understand. The participants feedback was very positive, they found this was one of the best trainings they ever had on Project Management.

I work as an IT Programme Manager and recently completed Project Management Training as part of my Project Management Diploma. The PM Diploma training material covered all PMBoK areas from Integration to Stakeholder Management, SCRUM Framework, Governance & Recovery techniques, as well as essential soft skills. Due to pandemic restrictions, the course was delivered remotely and the Aspira team used a variety of virtual online tools to ensure inclusion and participation throughout. The Aspira trainers displayed passion and expertise in the subject matter, reinforcing the training with personally-experienced real-world examples. These examples served to drive home the training and allowed all on the course to gain insight and understanding on its professional implementation.

We have the pleasure of partnering with Aspira for our Project Management learning in Three. We worked with them to create bespoke content for our learners balancing our companies needs and the PMBOK principles as well as SCRUM bootcamps and we found Aspira open and flexible in changing content to suit our needs as well as ensuring we covered all of the relevant content. Working with Aspira gave us confidence in the quality of the content and we are thrilled that all of our trainees successfully certified in Project Management. To support the world we currently live in, Aspira transitioned to virtual delivery of content without losing any of the engagement and content in doing so. The feedback from our learners is that the programme was engaging, challenging, worthwhile and they all benefitted from the programme with 95% of the learners saying it was extremely relevant to their role. The facilitators build great relationships with the learners which adding a depth of trust to the learning that supports the success of the programme and I would highly recommend working with Aspira.

HEAnet have been working with Aspira for a number of years to help improve our competency in project management through the delivery of customised training courses. Aspira have delivered courses at an introductory level as well as more targeted masterclasses for experienced project managers, and the feedback from attendees has been extremely positive. Aspira’s courses have helped raise the level of understanding and appreciation of the benefits of project management, and we expect to continue this for more staff in the future.
