Online Course Facilitator for Level 4 Certificate in Project Management at the Southern Institute of Technology and Bachelor of Applied Management. Teaching 2022 intakes and taught in 2019 in Christchurch, NZ on a part-time basis with evening and weekend courses and remote learning coursework.My aim as a facilitator is to inspire passionate business people and Project Managers and to encourage and nurture the pursuit of professional registration with the Project Management Institute (PMI) to gain Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. I encourage sharing of experiences in the class room and aim to guide the discussions in such a way that draws tangible meaning to course subjects in our students' everyday lives. Learn-by-doing and fostering an environment that welcomes cross-learning amongst peers are imperatives to the success of grasping course concepts and therefore best prepare our students for the challenges and demands of the workplace.
