Why choose Project Learning?

A brief Project Learning history

We attained Microsoft Project Certified Professional status awarded during 1996.  We became a fully certified Microsoft Partner in 2004.

Our principal consultants Andy Jessop and Diane Gosling attained full membership to Association for Project Management (UK professional body) in 1997. 

We have been active members of the Microsoft Project Partner programme from 1997 to present and regularly participate in Partner events in the UK and USA.  In addition we have delivered expert-level training courses on Microsoft Project Enterprise Project Management (EPM) on behalf of Microsoft Corporation in the UK.

In 2001 Andy and Diane gained accreditation in the Institute of IT Trainers assessment programme.  In 2009, Andy and Diane became Microsoft certified Trainers.

Since 2002, our Project Mentor and Project Companion products have been to be a recommended software resource within the Microsoft Project Inside Out book series.

During 2003 our Project Mentor CBT training tool has been adopted by many organisations within the UK and USA as a preferred way to learn Microsoft Project.  Version 2.0 was launched in summer 2004 to critical acclaim.

In 2004 the number of Project Companion users topped 20,000.  By mid 2005, this figure has reached over 30,000.  In early 2007, Project Companion users passed the 50,000 figure.

In 2005, Microsoft chose content from our Project Mentor CBT system to be the only partner-provided training content as part of their Project Management Toolkit.

In 2007, Project Learning left the UK after 13 successful years and relocated itself to Wellington, New Zealand.

In 2002 Andy became a Vice President and founding officer of the UK chapter of MPUG.  Andy and Diane are now both active members of the New Zealand MPUG chapter of which Andy is a chapter officer.
