"Simulation game" The Challenge of Egypt "is a great simulation of a real big project - the team faces a real time stress and need to cooperate and help each other while keeping management informed and most importantly needs to deliver required. The game gives the impression of such a real situation that there is no time to "pretend" anything - learned precepts go away and everyone acts like in the reality. Even the externall look and feedback is very helpful for each individual as well as for the entire team.
I am not sure if it was an advantage or disadvantage that participants knew each other because they work together, however respecting the real structures and relations was most of the time more or less evident. Anyway, that day we consider not only as a nice day but also highly beneficial for everyone."

"In the previous year 2011 I attended the PRINCE2® training organized and delivered by Symphera company, tailored for our employees. Martin Klousoň is a great speaker that can enrich the actual topic by an interesting practice examples and keep the attention of people throughout the training. Although the course was very demanding (the course itself, as well as homework), all colleagues really like to recall the training. The excellent course rate testify the above average results since from 65 participants 62 people passed the test Practitioner. A big thanks also belongs to Martin's colleagues and the perfect organization of the set of the trainings."       Acision. Innovation. Assured.

"The internal course "Introduction to Project Management" under the quidance of Mr. Martin Klusoň completely fulfilled our expectations. The entire trained team appreciated Martin's knowledge and experience in project management. Martin as a teacher is able to capture the attention and show on practical examples how you can easily convert the theory into practice . I personally esteem his ability to keep the attention of all attendees, even after lunch :).
Even some time after the course, I can say that it was definitely a good investment. It will be our pleasure to cooperate with Symphera again."

"We have started the cooperation with Symphera Ltd. and lecturer Mr. Martin Kluson in 2010. In particular, we appreciate his professionalism and practical experience with managing the projects mainly in the area of implementation the information systems.
In autumn 2011 we decided, after a personal experience with participation at Symphera open courses, to plan an internal seminar based on PRINCE2®  project management methodology for key employees of the project management department. The seminar has been evaluated as high quality, focused mainly on the practical use of PRINCE2 ® methodology for KVADOS, Inc. needs.
As participants said - "The trainer knows what he is talking about," which we see as the greatest added value of the provided course."

"I highly recommend Symphera's PRINCE2 training to all candidates who need to apply a structured appproach to project management in their practice. The course was systematically arranged, and even though it is largely theoretical methodology explanation, I can say that thanks to talent, experience and energic approach of Mr. Kluson, the lecturer, all the information can be perfectly summarized in relatively short period of time. To help cope with the course I definitely recommend not to underestimate the preparation before the course, in order to avoid unnecessary stress during the training. Thank you for a new perspective on project management and I look forward to using all the knowledge in practice."        TNT Express Worldwide, s.r.o.

 "Martin Klusoň is nost just excellent lecturer, but he is also the professional with plenty of experience. The Project Planning training contained well-balanced mix of theory and practices. We also had a chance to discuss our issues from our real projects and solved them out in the context of the training. It was the same with the PRINCE2 methodology which was also explained on particular examples from Martin's working experience. I consider the Project Planning course very useful for myself as well as from my team."

"When I think about the Project Planning course led by Mr. Kluson I remember it as one of the best trainings I have ever participated. It is evident that the trainer is the right person on the right place, not just only being theorist and "letter-perfect", but it is obvious he has many years of experience, which are so important for a great lecturer. He led the training in such a professional manner, which draw the attention and don't let the participants to fall asleep after lunch :). I see the project planning philosophy (the approach of planning the projects) very useful and applicable not only for projects, but generally on any working duties, which we face every day."

"I would like to thank you for the perfect organization of the PRINCE2 training, as well as for the course of the training and especially for the profesionalism, with which the trainer approached the whole course. I must admit, that I haven't met similar approach for a long time and Im very pleased that there is company such a quality on the Czech market. The certification preparation is, as from my point of view, very demanding, but Mr. Kluson managed it excellently. He was great in assorting a huge amount of different kind of information to us in such a short time. If there is anybody asking me for my opinion about your services, I would definitely recommend your company."

"The PRINCE2 Foundation training was very useful for me and helped me to understand to important concepts and contexture within project management.
I very much appreciate the lector's quality and the way he presented the content of training especially when he used the examples from his own experience. Although the training character itself is very demanding, thanks to this interpretation it was well "digestible" :). I definitely would welcome to participate another Symphera's training in a future."

"I esteem the training as well as the trainer, Mr. Klusoň, very highly. The course is mainly about a precise description of the project management methodology presented by any experienced lecturer- Mr. Kluson. Mr. Kluson's combination of practical experience and knowledge was so effective that it enabled me to understand the very depths of the methodology and its substance.  I definitely confirm the necessity, advised by the Symphera team, to thoroughly prepare for the course beforehand. Only then it is possible to focus on methodology details that would otherwise remain hidden in rough outlines."

I have to say that the content and organization of the PRINCE2 training led by Martin Klusoň was of the top quality. I consider it as the exemplar of an ideally managed training. For Martin Klusoň, deep knowledge of the subject is self-evident. In particular, I admire his ability to actively draw all the participants into, at first sight, topics of lesser importance. Martin created a very pleasant and constructive atmosphere, thanks to his humorously presented practical experience which was easy to remember.
Results of my Foundation and Practitioner examinations have only confirmed that this approach was accurate

"It is a pleasure for me to thank to Mr Martin Kluson for his great PRINCE2® methodology explanation. I would say mainly due to that I successfully managed to pass  the Pracititoner exam. But also the big word of thanks goes to the Symphera team which assured the smooth support  before and during the course and it motivated us for the best preparation, which is I think very needed. At least  from my point of view. Well, again, thank you!"

“Dear Martin,

Back in office I am still very impressed from the professional and effective training framed on a pictured storyline you provided to us in Maastricht - and of course that I passed the exam. I will now continue to transfer this knowledge into practice.

I felt I should let you know this.
Thanks again!”

 

“I have known Martin Kluson for many years now as a colleague and a trainer from Symphera. It is obvious that his trainings are backed up by many years of experience of a very successful Project Manager.”

 

“Our company decided to take PRINCE2 TM as a standard for Project Management. The course we took with my colleagues had a great value and the way in which it was conducted was a pleasant surprise for us. Excellent trainer, rich materials and hotel environment set very high standard and made the learning and examination preparation processes enjoyable. And the very best thing were the desserts.”

 

“Both from the course attendant's and their line manager's views, Martin Klusoň, is without doubt one of the best trainers working for us. He knows the methodology very precisely, his own project results earn a lot of respect and he can pass his knowledge to the course attendants.”

 

“Well-built training and professional approach of Martin Kluson helped me with the learning of PRINCE2 TM methodology. It is a comprehensible and practically useful course which will show you why PRINCE2 TM is so respected. I think that it is a useful tool for everyone, who wants to maintain a large and complicated project under control.”

 

“If you want to be sure that things will be done on time, properly and up to the users' satisfaction, PRINCE2TM is the best available methodology for managing IT and technical projects in general. Some may view it as complicated at first, but we had the advantage of having an excellent trainer. The training of Martin Klusoň was attended by representatives from our entire technology team representing Technical Operations, IT, Networking, Telecommunications, and Broadcast Engineering, which I today consider a great decision.”

 

“After years of experience on projects, I can tell the difference in a solid Project Management. PRINCE2 TM can offer such a difference. I was lucky to be trained by Martin as he shows great experience and is able to pass it on in a form proving his quality as a teacher. I would recommend this training to everyone.”

 

“Martin, without a doubt, is one of the best European PRINCE2 TM trainers. The feedback from the participants of his training courses confirms this view. They very much appreciate his ability to clarify complex points and understanding of the reality of having undertaken many projects in many situations, enabling him to relate to their situations. “

 

“We enjoy working with Martin Kluson and Symphera very much. He is helping us to apply the well-proven principles of managing people and projects so that they lead to appropriate use of resources and also that our deliverables would be implemented on time and in excellent quality.”

 

“Martin Klusoň connects two worlds, which complement perfectly. On his trainings one can tell, that Martin is not just a trainer, but he's got a whole range of hard and complex projects behind him. And as a Project Manager, he gains from excellent knowledge of the methodology.”

 

“Our teams, who develop key products for the world's largest telecommunication companies, can't afford a mistake or delay. Symphera's project trainings are helping us to be after this manner. Their courses are built on a rare combination of experience in Project Management, an excellent mastering of the methodology and his practicality. Such a combination is normally very hard to find.”

 

“The approach of Martin Kluson is exactly meeting our customer’s needs. He works with project methodology in order to practically support the business of our customers. This is something, which you can rarely find on the market. And Martin manages this like not many others.”
