Jonathan Knight
“Having worked in recruitment and hospitality for most of my professional working life, I decided that I wanted a change of career and I found the Project Planning Academy (PPA) run by i3Works. I have gone from knowing nothing about Project Controls to holding two industry-recognised qualifications (Project Planning & Controls Foundation & Practitioner). The PPA has given me the confidence to join the project teams in whatever projects I face going forward, be that in my personal or professional life! It has truly been a breath of fresh air to find a company that puts as much time and effort into their staff development."
Hayley Butland
I joined the Project Planning Academy with no prior planning experience. I was determined to challenge myself in a new career and the PPA seemed like the perfect opportunity. I'm proud to have gained an APM accredited Practitioner qualification in Project Planning Monitoring and Control. The training has been extremely intense, whilst very exciting. Joining i3Works and being welcomed into the team has opened my eyes to new opportunities. It has been incredible to find a company that is supportive and invested in both personal and professional development. In such a short space of time, I've been able to set new goals and aspirations. I have found a new passion for Project Controls, and I am excited to see what challenges come next.
