a variety of viewpoints for
diverse discussions Tom Nesterak Project Management Certificate
“
UD’s Project Management Certificate program was a perfect fit for what I needed at the time for a couple of reasons. One, it validated what I already knew about project management; two, it added some professional growth to areas I needed to develop. The instructor was incredible, respected that we were working professionals, and gave us plenty of time to complete our projects. He was extremely responsive and always replied to emails. One of my many takeaways was to apply lessons learned during a project and not put off until its completion a review of what could have been done differently. I have been implementing this practice in my position as a senior project manager for First Republic Bank. I appreciated the wide range of occupations represented in the class and benefited from the interactions. It was the most eclectic collection of students I’ve ever seen, which was great because we had a lot of diversity in terms of goals, work experience and professional backgrounds. Many viewpoints were brought to the table, and we had some outstanding discussions.” Tom Nesterak is a senior project manager for First Republic Bank who completed UD’s Project Management Certificate program.
