Attended versatile IPMA PMO-D training with Evelien Top as a trainer. Received a nice working method and good service.
Very nice 4-day training with good practical examples from the experience of Evelien and other students.
The course with Evelien Top I found it very pleasant. In four days of lessons we covered various cases through a lot of interaction, making the IPMA D training a fun experience.
small-scale top training with top course leader Remi-Armand! Great location (right on Amersfoort CS) and ditto lunch.
The flexibility and calmness of the trainer was very nice and created a comfortable atmosphere in which I could learn well. The interaction was also good.
I also found the course material very useful for my career
Good practical examples that make the material 'come alive'.
Excellent practice-oriented training to quickly gain insight into working according to the scrum method. The teacher/trainer was excellent. He was able to captivate me for 2 days in a row.
Got to follow good IPMA training with Michel. Extra fun because of the personal anecdotes.
Great trainer! Thank you Michel for taking us along with you for your expertise and great way of working.
Our trainer Michel Munier guided us more than excellently!
The design and tools for the training are very nice. Trainer was also very clear and helpful.
Training was pleasant and somewhat interactive/informal, which made the day manageable.
Very nice training! Clear explanation by experienced teacher. Good location with excellent facilities. Highly recommended.
Very educational course. Trainer was great. Explains the material well.
* Valuable training
* Good and experienced teacher
* Location Amersfoort easily accessible
Initially booked a self-study module from ITIL4 Foundation. Spontaneously received an invitation to participate in classroom training, and the dry stog of the self-study is explained very well, calmly and clearly. Compliments.
Good training with plenty of room for practical examples. 'Class' not too big and therefore individual attention.
The Agile PM training is an excellent training to learn the principles of project management and agile and how they can live in combination.
The trainer is very nice, provides structure but also leaves enough room to pay attention to personal preferences.
Clear explanation by trainer Orlando Heijmerink, excellent variety between practice, application and theory.
Agile PM
Clear training and explanation. Great trainer, lots of interaction. Enough room for questions and additional explanation.
The two days of the course were well organized. It is nice that there is flexibility in the training program, which allows room to make the training more or less intensive. The trainer was friendly, motivated and involved.
Very interesting training. Good practical examples and an enthusiastic trainer/teacher.
Interactive training with plenty of time for questions. It has helped me a lot in my daily work.
Very nice training. The trainer ensures that all components are sufficiently covered. The power of this training by Remi-Armand lies mainly in the balance between theory and practice. By testing the theory in the students' own context and sharing experiences with each other, knowledge grows.
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.
Good communication in advance
Clear and interactive explanation.
Top training! Will definitely recommend everyone to follow this one. Clearly explained and very interactive. Many examples were also given so that you can quickly relate it to your own situation.
Training in a small group, very pleasant. Excellent material and enough space for free conversations and sharing practical experiences. Compliments to Jeroen Ykema!
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.
The ITIL4 course was very interesting. We had Marcel Foederer as our trainer. Marcel made it very easy for us to understand the theory based course. The examples were provided in such a way that the relationship to day to day work could be observed and the interest could be maintained.
Educational training days from Jeroen!
Interesting training, unfortunately 1 day of practice is not enough in my opinion. It's good that the (Tata) practice is used as an example.
Trainers are enthusiastic and gifted.
Educational, lots of material. Delivered in a fun way. Nice and friendly group.
A lot of knowledge required, interactive teaching days, poor administration (outdated and loose documents)
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!
It is better to have the entire training given by 1 teacher.
Great training! Let's wait and see to what extent it contributed to the exam. It's nice that it is interactive.
After I successfully completed my Prince2 Foundation training, I immediately started with the Practioner's. We also really enjoyed this training. Jeroen is a great trainer with a lot of know-how!
Received training in yellowbelt, received clear and good quality lessons during the past 2 weeks. Obtained certificate today.
Happy Training
Nice way through the material. Using examples and assignments instead of slides. Enthusiastic trainer. Substance has many terms and it is not obvious how to go through them properly.
Good training, varied
A little more structure would make it even easier to follow.
Good, fun training with a trainer who has planned fun interactive sessions. We are asked what we need as a group and these components are also highlighted. In addition, fun interactive exercises that help to understand and apply the course material more easily.
Good training. Interactive so that the material is retained better than when you have a static training. Fabric is treated based on the wishes of the group, depending on its composition. Nevertheless, you will get a good insight into the agile working method and SAFe.
Had a very pleasant training, learned a lot! Nice anecdotes and good book tips. Is appreciated.
Well organized, interactive, including a good lunch. Top organised.
Nice training. No dry material, but many interactive exercises that help you learn more.
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.
Had a very nice interactive training about scrum. Enthusiastic trainer with a lot of passion for what he does.
A very nice and informative training with a good combination of practical examples and theory.
Training took place physically, which I really liked. Jeroen Ykema takes you well into the content, also using assignments. In addition to interacting with the other participants, this allows you to immediately apply the theory. Good preparation for the exam!
I am satisfied with the training. However, the room was less pleasant, no air exchange and too warm, which did not improve concentration. Lunch was fantastic.
Wonderfully relaxed and a true knowledge centre.
Had fantastic Prince2 foundation training from Jeroen at Lagant. Great trainer with a lot of knowledge who made the sessions incredibly interesting.
Remi's training was very hands-on with many practical exercises that bring the teaching material to life.
A very fun interactive training, where a lot of awareness is created through joint exercises. This creates team building and energy in the group, which stimulates learning.
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 just finished a 3-day Agile PM Fast track training in Utrecht with Orlando and it was wonderful.
Learning in a group through many real-life examples, games and discussions is as good it gets! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get certified in project management.
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.
Pretty dry material to learn. Training was done correctly. Attention to questions was good.
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.
Good training with a lot of depth and room for input of personal cases
A skilled trainer who takes the time to apply it to your organization.
Very interesting training, nice to get more and livelier explanations in addition to theory from book. Orlando knows how to involve and serve everyone in the group, has a focus on the agenda and gives plenty of room for questions.
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.
Pleasant way of training by discussing cases and practical examples.
Good training, informal interaction. Nice that you can always ask questions. Both theory and practical examples are discussed.
Nice that there is an extensive online environment. Super nice to practice with the questions here. The training itself was also interactive and educational.
IPMA-D (Eveline Top)
Training has a lot of material and can therefore be unstructured at times. The trainer does provide as much structure as possible. Good balance between theory and practice. Lots of active participation.
The teacher has a lot of experience and takes the group along well. Above all keep it up!
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?
Both the physical training sessions and the online learning environment are very extensive.
This gave me a lot of information at my disposal. This helped me to prepare well for the exam.
Great Trainer with a personal approach. Lots of material that is relevant and nice to know for practice.
Good training with a very experienced trainer. Very interactive and fun practical examples
Had training from Michel, very good trainer who can tell with great conviction. Also many relevant examples that give a lot of clarity to the theory.
Michiel is a top trainer who is very friendly and clear in his training. 100% recommended!
The training was very educational and interactive. Very good preparation for the exam.
Nice explanation, with many practical examples.
Definitely recommend!!
It is educational because, among other things
practical examples are used.
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.
Enthusiastic trainer who feels good about the group.
good training in which Business Analysis process in an organization is made transparent. explanation and practice of various practical aids.
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.
Gained many practical insights about the role of the Business Analyst within the DSDM framework. Excellent tools were provided to help fulfill that role in a valuable and attractive way.
And a trainer who knows how to link theory and practice.
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.
Training: IPMA PMO
Trainer: Evelien Top
Nice interactive training! Often practiced and many practical experiences shared with each other. In addition, the learning environment is useful for preparing for the exam.
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.
PMO IPMA D Evelien Top: The examples during the training ensure a thorough preparation for the actual exam.
Gained more insight into the role of Scrummaster and Product Owner. Excellent location under the inspiring guidance of Remi-Armand Collaris.
Very instructive training which, in addition to a clear explanation of the basics, also pays extensive attention to the information needs of the student in order to be able to translate it properly into their own practical situation.
Very nice way of teaching, which created many new insights. It is not entirely clear whether the entire material has now been treated, but what has been treated was valuable.
Interesting trajectory of 10 course evenings that has given me a lot of new inspiration to take great steps towards better cooperation with my teams.
Scrum Basics:
Good and clear explanations and especially good interactions.
Trainer was: Remi Armand
I have followed the Scrum Basics course. Remi can transfer the material well. In addition, there is a clear structure, from the base to the floor.
It was a constructive course in which I gained more insight into how to tackle certain issues. Subject Scrum basis given by Remi-Arnand
A very pleasant way of presenting material that is very interactive and conveyed with humour.
It tastes like more and makes you curious.
Concerns Scrum Master and Remi-Armand.
Many good lessons where fun exercises are done with the material.
Evelien's IPMA-D training courses were fun, interactive and very educational! It was good preparation for the exam.
Evelien Top IPMA-D
Had a very nice training last weeks. Evelien knows how to keep her attention and to go through all the material at a rapid pace. Had a lot of fun and feel well prepared for my exam!
IPMA-D training from Evelien Top were very interactive, fun lessons where we learned a lot. Evelien pays attention to the needs of the participants, creates a nice atmosphere and leaves room for questions.
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 have taken the ITIL 4 Foundation, a Lagant online tutorial. Good structure of the course material, clear explanations and help and all at your own pace. Overall a top course!
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.
Good lessons, good content, very good trainer! You get the materials. Recommended.
The Prince 2 course I followed at Lagant was inspiring, practical and interactive.
Nice how the trainer can translate the theory into practice.
The PRINCE2 training of Jeroen Ykema was very interacting and he used a whole Noel practical examples. This clarified the theory and brought it to life.
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.
Good trainer, interactive, translation into practice. Online platform is nice to practice.
Had a nice agile pm foundation training. Very good that the weather could be on location due to guidelines.
Have followed the 2-day AgilePM training. Very interesting and above all good, constructive explanation per chapter received from trainer Orlando. Lots of ins and outs about what to pay attention to during the exam. Very valuable and absolutely recommended!
Good tailored training. Pleasant that it is a small group, so that the depth can be sought where there is need. Trainer stands still (and regularly tests this) with students' needs
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!
Excellent guidance.
Both for the self-study and for the coach. Good preparation for the exam.
An intensive training for Agile PM. But well constructed with assignments and explanations.
Nice trainer, the clear relevant examples bring the tough material to life. Had two fun and instructive training days.
Nice training on a topic that is new to me. Trainer has a good pace and takes into account challenges in the group.
Good explanation based on a presentation, exercises, videos, diagrams and practical examples. Doable in 2 days with your own commitment to homework and self-study. Good and clear system to support the self-study with a good practice environment with sufficient test questions.
Nice and clear e-learning environment. Practice for the exam with the ExamTrainer. I will definitely follow my next self-study at Lagant again!
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.
Extensive time was taken to discuss everything. The trainer really takes the time to deal with your question.
Tailoring the topics and depth to the participants appealed to me the most. This made it a tailor-made training. Sticking to the 'tight rhythm' of DSDM / Agile PM, I will be the first to put it into practice.
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.
Followed the PRINCE2 Foundation training online. Nice e-learning with videos and practice questions. Lagant was easily accessible for questions. I have experienced the possibility of doing a written exam on location at Lagant as very pleasant.
Super educational because of the practical approach! You will learn to experiment with new working methods outside your comfort zone. The trainers are critical in a pleasant way, so that you learn to get the best out of yourself.
Each working method is practiced with practical situations of the participants. Because you are in the middle of it yourself, you immediately experience the effect. And that arrives!
Excellent training from an experience trainer, with many tips and practical examples. Also online all resources in order!
Very nice and energetic NLP inspiration training, given by Basile Lemaire. Briefly describes the possibilities with NLP, very enlightening with a clear structure, clear assignment and instructive feedback. Makes curiosity about more.
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.
I followed the Prince2 Practitioner training through Lagant. Thanks to Jeroen's guidance I got through it well. The accessibility, explanation, course materials and preparation for the exam were excellent. To be repeated. See you in three years, at the repeat. Thanks!
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!
Remi-Armand also knows how to make the most of it online and get it out of the participants, thanks to his inspiring way of telling and the many digital working methods he offers.
It is our mission to help customers get their change ambitions to come true.
Our location in Amersfoort is located directly opposite the main entrance of the NS station and is therefore easily accessible by public transport.
If you come by car, it is best to park at the Q-Park P+R Barchman Wuytierslaan, approximately a 5-minute walk from our office.
