Pentland have provided BAE Systems with tutor-led in-house training programmes covering aspects of Project Management and Planning. The courses were tailored in conjunction with Pentland to meet the requirements of the business and attendees.

I have personally attended Pentland courses and have also arranged training for my colleagues. Courses were well received and highly rated by attendees from across the organisation.

Having been actively involved in this process I am happy to recommend this training provider.
