Graduate results and what they say
"The course, first of all, is interesting with interactive communication and discussion of the real cases. Consultant leads the topic of the discussion correcting all mistakes and suggests optimal decisions for presented situations"
"I have received my certificate from the Outlines of Project Management course by InStar! It was an intensive 16 hours where our group explored how to manage projects from start to finish: what to do at the kickoff, how to build a team, plan work, deal with risks, and of course, how to close a project properly. The sections on stakeholder management and project management methodologies were particularly valuable — everything became much clearer. A special thank you to our instructor Natalia Starynska, PMP — the course was practical, accessible, and genuinely engaging!"
"I'm very satisfied with the practical course. All hot questions concerning Project and Team management are disclosed"
"I liked it very much, meets expectations, applicable to work"
