Rajeev Payal United States A1. Ashwin is really an energetic person. He speaks continuously 9-5 with the SAME ENERGEY LEVEL which remains consistent throughout the course period. He just not only goes line by line on PPT but also explains each and every content, with examples and with practical if possible. I admit all this is not easy to digest within a week but i would be referring to the recordings as i feel each and every content has been explained to full extent. Koenig definitely needs trainers like Ashwin, who, in my eyes, has increased the Institution Brand. Definitely, I am going to recommend Koenig (and especially Ashwin..) to get the PMP training with my friends.
John Leventis United States A1. Sashi was amazing! The way he conveyed the overall content was of the highest quality, he is knowledgeable whereas his thinking process unique.
Maria Barrow United States A3. Based on my experience with my current training, I would most definitely choose Koenig for future training needs. I am already considering another course recommended by Mr. Bhatia.
Nikhil United States A1. The trainer is very knowledgeable, very patient, and very supportive in explaining the concepts. I would recommend this trainer to all my other friends and family members.
