Attended workshop in February 2018Attended virtual PMP certification course through KnowledgeHut. Having worked in the industry for 20 years, was looking for more of refresher to brush up the conceptual and process knowledge required for certification and this training fully met my expectations. The trainer's (Mr Sunil Agarwala) knowledge of the topic (conceptual + practical) and content delivery was commendable and very apt for the target audience. Very useful training.
