Selected learner feedback
A small selection of detailed comments from delegates across PRINCE2, PRINCE2 Agile and Managing Successful Programmes courses delivered by Andrew.
“Andrew engaged with the class well and kept the learning material interesting by applying it to his own real world experience, but also using our own experiences to make it more relatable. He balanced the group and individual exercises well, allowing us to share our knowledge with one another and test our own understanding of the course content. He made himself available throughout the course to answer any questions that we had.”
“Andrew was an absolutely amazing trainer. He was very patient, especially when anyone was struggling to understand a specific aspect or topic. He took the time to make sure we were all comfortable and if we didn't understand something, he would find another way of explaining it so that it made sense. He was incredibly knowledgeable and really tailored the program to suit our group and learning styles.”
“Andrew was very engaging and made us all feel welcomed. I felt supported and Andrew offered to stay back each day to help with any questions on a 121 basis. Well done to Andrew for keeping the energy in the virtual room! I deliver training within my role and I know how challenging it can be to keep people engaged and he managed to do this for the 5 days which is not an easy task!”
“Andrew was brilliant. Engaged with us all, but also would take a step back and allow for us to engage in debate with one another over interpretations of the material and real world application. He clearly knew his stuff and was a great teacher.”
“Andrew was an exceptional trainer. He took time to research our company and speak to me in advance of the course to find out more about the participants. He was patient and clear throughout and gave excellent advice on exam approaches as well.”
“Andrew's training sessions were highly effective and interactive with well-structured way of explaining the rationale. Additionally, he provided excellent support and resources that helped to build confidence in sitting for the exams.”
“Face to face training - Andrew was clearly very knowledgeable and used real world examples to great effect.”
“Andrew was amazing, patient in explaining the information and ways to better understand them, he did lots of exercises which made the whole experience enjoyable.”

“I do not have any prior project management experience. Andrew Sills is an amazing instructor. Covered all the course components in detail and with clarity so someone who dint have prior hands on experience can also make sense of the course material. He was also available during break times to discuss any doubts if needed.”

“Face to face training - Andrew was clearly very knowledgeable and used real world examples to great effect.”
“Andrew was a great trainer - clearly very knowledgeable and used a great combination of his own examples as well as drawing upon examples from the learners within the group. Really helpful for bringing the learning to life.”
“Andrew is extremely personable, emotionally intelligent and also super polite. I enjoyed the course much more due to his inimitable vast knowledge interspersed with a good deal of charm and wit! He is also super focused and has a particular talent for sticking to the point, despite my numerous interruptions!!!”
“Trainer was very good, he tried to engage learners with practical examples using our real life scenarios.”
“Andrew has good knowledge and was able to portray with real life examples in natural way.”
“I cannot fault Andrew at all. I thought his way of delivering the content was brilliant and was tailored to suit a variety of learning styles in our cohort of people. I only hope that if I get to do any more courses similar to this that Andrew can deliver it again. Really enjoyed his approach to the whole week and a really nice guy too.”
“The group was engaging, we were able to discuss real life scenarios and the instructor went over the rational of the answers as required. I struggled greatly with navigating the book, the instructor made time to help me understand how to find information. This was much appreciated, I still haven't fully mastered but hopefully I will.”
“I found it hard to absorb the information. It didn't seem to follow a sequence to help build knowledge - we flitted back and forth around the book and stages throughout, which I don't think helps. The instructor clearly had lots of relevant experience but wasn't able to help me to understand the process clearly.”
