Reviews From Our Clients


DINA DABO

CAPM® CERTIFIED

When I decided to expand my project management knowledge, I was fortunately directed to Hebo consult. From there on, I was EXTREMELY pleased with my entire experience, from the introduction to the different courses to the actual course week and even the follow-up towards sitting for the exam. I was lucky to have taken the preparatory course led by Ms. Bulla Hekeno. Ms. Bulla made sure that each section of the course was clearly understood and was always open for questions and clarifications even after the course ended. On top of that, she was ALWAYS available to answer any questions regarding the exam even when I called her at odd times of the day. My experience was so good that Ms. Bulla has now become a friend! I would most definitely go back to Hebo Consult and would recommend their services
