"This is a very good course and was delivered exceptionally well when I attended .The additional time, which is only available via the CTP (standard course is 5 days) is definitely worth the extra investment. Rather than rush through the course material (and skip some of it) we were able to able to hold some very valuable and interesting discussions, which certainly aided our comprehension of the APM BOK. Highly recommended!"
