"I purchased a PRINCE2 Foundation training course and exam voucher from Training ByteSize, which was offered as a promotional package including another training course of my choice (APM Project Fundamentals Qualification) for free. Completing both of the training courses within the e-learning training platform developed by Training ByteSize, together with the relevant mock-up exams, helped me to pass the PRINCE2 Foundation and APM PFQ examination with ease. Moreover, I was provided with administrative support in order to register for both the exams, which made the entire process very smooth and less stressful. Hence, I would recommend Training ByteSize to anyone who is seeking well-structured, concise but informative training courses related to any type of project management certification level and methodology that is supplemented with a professional and timely support by the training organization." - Boris Kuzmanov
