“This course helped me understand the PMBOK 6th edition in a simple and practical way, not as something rigid to memorize, but as a flexible guide that adapts to each project. I understood that there isn't just one way to do things, that agility is more of an attitude focused on delivering value, and that there's no point in creating documents if they don't contribute.”
“... As a result of this learning, I even managed to build my own canvas with the 49 processes, something that gives me a lot of confidence and I'm sure will be key for my PMP exam :3”

“I found this course at exactly the right time. I have just completed an MBA in Project Management, and although I have been working on projects for the past five years, only now do I feel empowered to fully assume this role on my CV and LinkedIn. Ricardo Vargas shared many valuable insights, and being guided by someone with such extensive experience was truly a gift.”
“... Knowing there are professionals who genuinely care about others brings hope in a challenging world.”

“This course was very helpful to understand the movement from PMBOK (R) Guide 6 to PMBOK (R) Guide 7 edition.”

“My key takeaway from PMBOK® 7 is that project management is no longer about following rigid steps or "cookbook recipes," but rather about understanding the specific context and adapting the way of working to what the project truly needs.”
“... What I value most about this edition is its focus on value delivery; I realized that success isn't just about meeting time, cost, and scope targets, but about generating results that genuinely benefit the business or the client. It also became clear to me that there is no single perfect methodology for every situation. The key lies in knowing how to adapt one's approach, leadership style, and decision-making based on the realities of the project, the team, and the environment. Overall, I feel this edition significantly shifts the project manager's mindset, moving away from a sole focus on task management toward facilitating change, adaptation, and real results.”

“I signed up for the course to reinforce my knowledge of Earned Value, but I ended up gaining a much deeper understanding than I had anticipated. I really appreciated exploring concepts I was already familiar with from the PMBOK 6th Edition (PV, EV, and AC) through their classic nomenclature: BCWS, BCWP, and ACWP. That was the moment I realized the material ahead was invaluable.”
“... What I value most is grasping that these indices are not merely formulas or numbers; they actually speak to us, revealing what is happening in the project and helping us make well-founded decisions. I also really enjoyed the forecasting section, as I now understand how to project future scenarios rather than simply reporting on what has already occurred. Without a doubt, this course helped me make sense of many formulas I previously knew only by rote; now, I truly understand them and can apply them to my projects.”

“I recently completed the online training on Earned Value Management and found it both engaging and highly effective. The content was well structured and covered all the key principles, without unnecessary complexity. A valuable learning experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to strengthen the EVM concept.”

“I came across this course at a very unusual point in my career: I was dealing with the frustration of having transitioned from a Continuous Improvement role—which I was beginning to realize was essentially project management in disguise—into a role aimed at product management. That move was handled poorly and resulted in a sense of "failure" when I realized that this area, despite being highly successful within my company, simply wasn't for me.”
“... Now, facing a near-dismissal, I am working to return to a role closer to project management. After searching online for the best courses for those early in their careers, I found this free course; I took a chance on it, hoping the description might offer something at least partially useful—since, on the internet, free content is rarely good or high-quality. I am pleasantly surprised and very happy to have completed it. It delivered exactly what was promised, striking the perfect balance between content and career advice. I deeply resonated with the point about how the real motivation comes from delivering the finished product, and how the excitement can fade a bit once it's done—much like childhood toys losing their allure after you’ve finished assembling them. Thank you so much for this, Ricardo—all the best!”

“Ricardo Vargas’ Crash Course on Risk Identification is exceptionally clear and well-structured. Complex concepts are broken down into simple, practical steps that are easy to understand and apply immediately. What I found most valuable were the real-world examples and illustrative scenarios. They help bridge the gap between theory and practice, making risk identification much more tangible and actionable.”
“.... Rather than focusing only on project management terminology, the course demonstrates how risks emerge in actual situations and how to think proactively about them. The risk identification techniques presented are not limited to project management. I can see strong potential for applying these methods in business planning, process improvement, strategic decision-making, and even everyday problem-solving. The course provides a practical mindset that can be transferred across many domains. A concise, practical, and highly valuable course for anyone who wants to improve their ability to identify risks before they become problems.”
