The course is overall well and efficient, however, the duration estimation lecture was far from enough to get you prepared for respective quiz, the lecture is superficial, the assignment is thoroughly detailed down to the nitty gritty calculations on duration estimations, I think they could do more to teach people how to properly estimate construction activity duration

Dr. Ibrahim Odeh, was capable to put a five weeks course that surpass many other courses of one year lenght, the mix of theory and quizes based on real experience of top notch professionals of the construction field was great! - I recommend this course for any project manager that want to walk a step further in construction management. Congratulations Professor Odeh !

The material presented is very useful, the speakers who present the material are also experts in the field. just me for subtitles there is still a little error in writing. about 5 to 6 videos do not provide modules presented for download. The downside of this course is that the material is less retail, making it rather difficult to combine the material with the other

I am delighted to have copleted this course. It is very rare that you get to learn from the best professionals with their expertise in each field. Everybody seemed very proficient and confident in their fiel of work with a lot of energy to inspire and motivate other people like us to be the nation builders and to work towards a better and sustainable environment.

This course was excellent for me regarding Construction Project Management. In this course i have learnt about planning, scheduling, work breakdown structure, risk analysis and safety measures for project. After that through this course I knew about BIM-Software and its functions.

At the end Thanks to my Instructor Ibrahim Odeh and all of the supporting members.

Excellent course. Both the Content and the way it is delivered. I especially enjoyed the industry experts giving live industry examples. Being a 12 years experience civil engineer myself got to learn a lot of new things. Special mention to Gus Maimis, Project Manager part of the course was really interesting.

But the knowledge imparted so far, serves as a good foundation to warehouse the bits of knowledge gather so far in my chosen profession.

Excelente curso para las personas interesadas en la Gestión de Proyectos de Construcción. Me pareció un curso muy completo que aborda los temas principales de Project Management desde un punto de vista ejecutivo, tomando en consideración la vinculación de diversos temas como control de costos y tiempos, desde el punto de vista del director de proyectos.

I am strongly recommend this course, actually the topic in each module is excellent, professionals can learns the difference between type of contracts, and also the roll than each professional has in the project.

In the same way, I am learn about what is the concept of BIM and how I must apply it to take advantage in the scheduling of the project.

Excellent pace, easy to pickup where I left off with quizzes immediately following each section. Course had more detail and minutiae than I anticipated, but I learned a lot. Guest lecturers are excellent.

I have one request, that slides and diagrams can be easily downloaded w/o the image of the lecturer. That would help students take better notes.

I highly recommend this course for everyone involved in construction field.

It offers a holistic overview of construction management and provides valuable details. Nothing theoritical, every piece information is practical and will help you with all types of projects.

Every video is worth watching.

I only wish "Lean project" videos could be longer.

I am architect, one day I have planned to work as a project manager, then I saw this course which is a significant step toward may goal. Actually it is so helpful and benefit course to develop leadershipness in all aspects for project managment. The most important thing are professional diversity tutors, practice and quizzes.

A great introduction to construction management. Covers every topics in as much detail as they could in such a short time. It's needed to take the other courses of construction specialization to get practical knowledge.

Great teachers, each of them specialize in a subject and discuss their topics in detail and with enthusiasm.

Great course to learn processes and the management tools and controls used in the construction field. Course features guest instructors from top development and engineering firms. I highly recommend it to all my friends that work in the built environment. Thank you kindly to Odeh for his hard work in coordinating the course.

I found the course extremely beneficial and informative. I learned a lot of new concepts and gained valuable knowledge about construction project management. The instructors did an excellent job explaining complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner, and the course material was well organized and easy to follow.

The course was excellently delivered, shedding light on misconceptions I held while also solidifying new concepts and providing a detailed breakdown of industry terminology. It's especially beneficial for those making the transition into the field, offering a comprehensive understanding of key principles and practices.
