“Mac is very experienced in the field of Project Management and it shows through his teaching. Mac was more than just technically proficient and prepared for each session, but was able to break down more difficult sections until I understood the content, and knew the material covered from both a book standpoint as well as an experience standpoint.”
Chris, Project Manager
