Testimonials :

“We would like to thank Bahjat for the excellent PMP training provided. The classes were inspiring and insightful. The trainer delivered the comprehensive knowledge of PMBOK in an understandable manner and illustrated the content with practical examples from his own extensive work experience in organizations from the private and non-governmental sector and in different PM knowledge areas. The trainer gave room for discussion and questions during the class, which made the classes both effective in terms of preparing for the exam and enjoyable at the same time. Taking the course at Ritaj with Bahjat was a definite gain for our professional development. The communication with Ritaj regarding the course was smooth and helpful. Ritaj provided an individual PMP training package tailored to our needs (English as language of instruction, and a flexible schedule to accommodate other commitments). Therefore, we would like to thank Ritaj for offering this unique learning opportunity to us.”
