Testimonials:

“Amy is a remarkable teacher. She was always thoroughly prepared and has a deep knowledge of Project Management but perhaps more importantly, she is a gifted teacher and  is able to able to bring the subject to life with countless examples and anecdotes from the real world. In addition to her knowledge and skills, I found her to be a most pleasant, courteous and helpful teacher and I would thoroughly recommend anyone with even the slightest interest in Project Management to sign up for her class.”

“I found this course to be very valuable for gaining hands-on knowledge in Project Management. Amy clearly brings a wealth of real-life experience, but she's also good at transmitting her knowledge. As a communications professional, I can tell her presentations are excellent, have a clear structure and flow — very easy to follow. For those of us returning to the classroom after several years, this was extremely helpful. I found each session informative, engaging, interactive and fun. Something that stood out was Amy's ability to connect with such a diverse group of participants, varying in age, culture, and professional backgrounds. Her friendly and ​inclusive style created an energetic and supportive environment. She encouraged everyone to contribute, making the class feel more like a collaborative experience than a lecture. I genuinely looked forward to every Tuesday evening class! Credit to BFEI for selecting such a strong instructor — the quality of the teaching easily matched what you’d expect from a university-level course.”

“Amy is a patient, skilled and knowledgeable teacher. She demands the highest standards from her students. She does this with humour, generosity and energy. She imaginatively uses a wide range of Classroom Management Skills, educational games, quizzes, group work, to great effect so that her students grasp and understand the content of her lectures. It was a joy and a privilege to be in her class and to gain so much knowledge from her deep experiences. I wish to thank her for her assistance and guidance.”
