I recently followed the Prince2 foundation & practitioner training at Lagant. The amount of theory was a bit overwhelming at first, but the trainer managed to keep it manageable by zooming in on the most important aspects and providing practical examples. I obtained both certifications in one go. In addition, he later helped us with applying the theory in practice within my team and organization, which was very nice!
The trainers at Lagant are professional and convey the sometimes dry material of study components with enthusiasm and personal attention (also during groups), in a way that makes it stick. The course material itself (through no fault of Lagant, but they have to work with it) is sometimes not completely up to date.
In-depth training embedded with meaningful experience games that makes it more fun and easier to better fulfill the role of scrum master. After years of guiding scrum teams, I have gained new insights and tools to help teams improve in small steps. Highly recommended for beginners and advanced students!
The training was arranged through my employer. I am very pleased with trainer Marcel Foederer. He explains clearly and understandably and takes the time for questions and practical examples.
The Peoplecert PowerPoint contained some errors here and there (language/answer options).
The online learning environment is nice to practice with.
Participated in a two-day live training at Lagan in Amersfoort for PRINCE2. The first day of training was in January, but due to illness I had to participate in a later second training day in April and this was given by a different trainer. My two other colleagues had already followed their 1st training with Marcel Foederer with excellent guidance, structure and targeted explanations. I was very happy to participate in his second course and receive practical advice. He guided the whole team through the dry theory in a very good interactive way with good energy, which made the whole team feel more confident taking the test and already knew what we needed to do and look at to pass and use this method in our work. The follow-up guidance and support options were also highly appreciated.
Had an interesting training over days in which the scrum process in an agile environment was discussed intensively but also creatively. Using theory, practical examples and inspiring exercises, we experienced the challenges of scrum master, developers and product owners within a scrum team. Even if you have been actively working within a scrum team for a while, the course is very educational because many motivations and theories behind standard rituals are clarified.
In 2 days of training, Jeroen guided us through the theory of Prince2. Jeroen comes across as an experienced trainer who has a good command of the material. Because it is a lot of theory for 2 days, he went through the theory very quickly. The theory consists of many terms that are often very similar but mean something slightly different. This makes it difficult for me to separate them and place them among the various phases and processes in which they occur. I would have liked a visual overview of all the main ones and where they are used. Jeroen uses ~100 slides with a lot of information. I think the presentation of the slides could be made much nicer (more modern). And it was shortened a lot, we skipped many slides. I find the home study that Lagant offers very positive. This allows me to complete assignments and practice with exam questions every day. We will see whether all this will be enough to successfully complete the exam. In the follow-up Prince2 Practitioner training, I hope to pick up more tips and tools that I can use in my daily work.
I think it is a very confusing training. 100 different key sheets, final objectives that keep changing, etc. Time for this training to be thoroughly overhauled and made customer-friendly for this price!
I am very satisfied with the course I received and would definitely recommend it. The trainer also had a lot of professional knowledge and was therefore able to explain situations and components clearly.
Insanely good Agile Project Management Practitioner training followed! Was very impressed with the quality of the trainer (Orlando Heijmerink), the variation in assignments and the practical side of the training. There was plenty of time for questions and discussing situations we as participants experience, this helps put what I am learning into perspective and I went home with action points to apply in my team!
The location in Utrecht is out of the way with public transport, an industrial estate, but fine for 2 days. The building is modern and the lunch very good with plenty of choice.
Recommended!
Fine training on Agile PM with a good balance between practice and theory. Orlando is an experienced teacher who gives good examples from practice. He also ensures good student involvement by applying energizers, short breaks and working methods. In addition, you practice exam questions so that you know what to expect.
I took a successful course on Agile Foundation with Lagant. I was really happy how they supported my studies by making the material as colorful as possible with videos which I haven't seen on other platforms before. The use of the elearning dashboard is easy, you can go into discussions if necessary or you can also contact an expert if needed. The daily memo trainings are a super idea and the mock-up test was also very usefulI before my final exam. I would definitely recommend choosing them for your next course.
The 3-day AgilePM training led by Orlando was great. Orlando's deep knowledge and passion for Agile were contagious and made the training engaging. The hands-on approach and practical exercises ensured that I not only gained theoretical knowledge, but also developed the skills to apply Agile effectively. Orlando created a safe learning environment in which personal questions and needs were valued.
Training is easy to follow, diverse material when it comes to content. Just thought it was a shame that the split tests affect the goal percentage so much, since you can't recreate them. Nevertheless, it is very nice that the memo trainings can be made infinitely, it helps with consistent practice. Furthermore, the email contact is smooth and helpful.
Good training, especially for the starting team coach. Covered many different aspects of coaching a team. In addition, exercises that you can do yourself in the team.
Sometimes a little more need to practice, such as with coaching conversations and the DICS vaniant. For example, how can you apply the disc in the coaching conversations?
A good extensive training with a lot of variety. You do useful simulations and immediately apply the theory to various assignments. Access to the e-learning is also very useful in preparation for the exam. The trainers pay attention and help you translate the theory into your working environment.
Followed the Agile Business Analyst training in March 2023. If you are looking for a framework to design the process for yourself, in an Agile environment, this training is certainly suitable. It gives you tools and insights to focus on delivering values. Teaching material could use a refresher, techniques are described that are somewhat older. Orlando Heijmerink takes you through the exam material in a nice way.
PMO D training from Evelien Top
I have experienced the PMO D training as very valuable. A lot of theory is covered about everything involved in project management, from start to finish of the project and from issues and finances to conversation techniques. Evelien's training sessions are a pleasant alternation between theory, exercises and examples, making the day fly by. There is also plenty of room for your own input and questions.
IPMA PMO D - Evelien Top
Instructive training with good balance practice. Trainer gives good practical examples and has time for questions, nice setup instead of just going through slides. Location was fine.
There is room for improvement in the training material, which is not always current/up to date due to changes in the training. The same applies to the online environment that is still lagging behind.
Had training from Evelien Top for the IPMA-D course. Were fun, interactive training evenings in which many topics were discussed. Training program was tailored by weighing the different experiences of the candidates. This allowed us to work in a focused manner and not to pay too much attention to the topics we already had experience with. Super good experience with Lagant and Evelien! Very satisfied.
I followed a 3 day AgilePM fasttrack at Orlando Heijmerink. The training was very instructive and focused on practice with real practical examples. It has given me very new insights as an alternative to the traditional waterfall project method to deliver results quickly. The training is formed with alternation of practical examples, case studies and exchange of practical examples with fellow students. In short, highly recommended.
Halfway through the training I can say that I have a very positive feeling about it. The material is presented in a fun and interactive way and there are many opportunities for discussion.
It is currently not a 5*, because so much material is covered that it is sometimes gone through too quickly, which threatens to dilute the context.
I followed the AgilePM fundamentals and practitioner training led by Orlando HeijmerinkOrlando has guided us with inspiration through this course. My course mates also had a lot of work experience, together we discussed our practical experiences and challenges in the field of Agile and DSDM in a very pleasant way. Thank you!
I have had a very interactive and inspiring training from Remi-Armand. What I find really added value is that course material (for example document templates) is simply available via the website, so you really have something to do after you have attended the course. Remi-Armand has a pleasant voice and tells fascinating and full of energy. This is certainly a plus at a time when we unfortunately have to attend the training remotely.
lagging. The 3 best standouts. 1. Clear and correct; 2. Clear communication in advance, good guidance during and helpful afterwards; 3. Highly professional and driven professionals who provide the training(s)/education. Been following training/education including certification through Lagant for years. They continue to innovate with the training portfolio.
At the end of 2019, we set up a nice series of 'facilitating workshops' with Change Guide Lagant for an internal pool of risk advisers within our organization. The aim of this is to offer the risk advisers, as experienced facilitators of risk sessions, extra tools by mainly doing it themselves.
This 'learning-by-doing approach' ties in nicely with the vision and working method of Change Guide Lagant's on such development issues.
Due to the corona crisis, the initial plan of physical workshops could suddenly no longer continue and there was a challenge in how to act as a facilitator in an online setting. Change guide Lagant immediately thought along with us and together we came up with a nice online offer. Due to circumstances, we therefore deviated from the initial assignment, but held a nice series of online workshops. This is thanks to the reliable, flexible and cooperative attitude of Verandergids Lagant as a partner. Very satisfied with this attitude and certainly recommended with regard to their knowledge and experience in the field of online facilitation.
The coaching process by Lagant has resulted in much more connection between the teams. We have started to prioritize better and listen better to each other. From now on we will discuss in order to reach an agreement. People experience that what they do matters and that it is seen. The team coach training, which was followed by the internal ambassadors, has made it possible for us to apply a number of new working methods. That helped us at the start of corona to think creatively about how we can do sessions, such as retrospectives, sprint planning, refining requirements, differently and with positive results. I highly recommend Lagant for its knowledge, experience and persistence to initiate the process and change.
Orlando Heijmerink and his team from Lagant accomplished in a week what would otherwise have taken months. Thoughtful analysis with attention to details in combination with warm attention to employees has made our trial offices better. Because differences were bridged, new wishes sometimes became reality and where there are still dreams, the trained ambassadors make this come true.
Nice to learn about different methods that help to become more Gile in a project, and how planning projects fit into agile environments. I really appreciated Orlando taking the time to explain things that went beyond the subject of the exam (especially stakeholder management, scrum, story mapping, practical ways to make teams work better together, and other agile methods such as safe and how they should be implemented in larger organizations.
A great training to dive into the world of NLP, to get acquainted with its principles and to get started with a number of methods / techniques. After 3 days I have already gathered many tools and this certainly makes me want more! It was a very interesting training with inspiring trainers and very varied due to the continuous alternation of theory and practice. Due to, among other things, the ability of the trainer to fully take you into the world of NLP with its stories, visual explanations and images, the training is stimulating in all areas. I have come to a number of great, new insights and have learned new techniques / methods that I can use in my coaching practice as a tool. All in all, a very enriching experience and a nice addition to my knowledge.
I followed the NLP training for Agile coaches through Lagant. It was my first encounter with NLP. During the three days I received a number of practical tools that were clearly explained and that we were able to practice in the group. Based on this, I can apply these tools well in daily practice and I have also become very curious about NLP and may delve further into this.
The trainer had adapted the training very well to the virtual possibilities. I was positively surprised at how much fun a day of training from behind your computer can be. This is partly due to the enthusiasm of the trainer and the variation in working methods and interaction. This time management training is broader than just the part of time management. The part personal mission gives me more confidence in the effectiveness and applicability of the time management tools. The personal experience of the trainer completed this training.
Lagant's Time Management training is highly recommended for anyone who, in any area, feels stuck. After following this training you will not only be clear what you want in life, but you will also be given all the tools to achieve these goals. In addition, the training is full of tips and tricks about, among other things, saying no, setting priorities and speed reading. In short, for me it was the perfect training, and at the perfect time!
