Testimonials
"I recently hired Mr. Nagarajah Nirmalan to provide ITIL training to the IT managers within my team. He is highly skilled in the area of ITIL and was able to answer the questions that we had throughout the process. An added value that he brings to the table is the side discussions and comparisons with other frameworks/certifications such as PRINCE2, MSP etc. I also felt that he had a high level of dedication and it was important to him that we had everything necessary to successfully succeed the class. Beyond the class he has also followed up with to ensure that we are now equipped to succeed in implementing ITIL in our team and has offered his help within this process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Nirmalan for training or consulting in ITIL."

“I have been in the field of project management (PM) for more than 05 years now. Last year (2009) I joined the Open Arc College of International Studies to do my Diploma in Project Management (DPM) based on PMI curriculum. That was the first time I met Mr. N. Nirmalan, our lecturer is really passionate about PM. Generally lecturers only teach the curriculum that was given to him or her but Mr. Nirmalan is different from that. He gave us all the aspects of PM, theories, practices, methodologies, different model types, etc. He is a well equipped and qualified lecturer. I bet that I have never met a person in the PM Field like him. He use to tell us again and again to give priority to Risk Analysis and Project Auditing. He was sharing his personal experiences with us to make us understand each subject in PM. I was really motivated to commit more to my work place because of his teaching. I still admire about his statement he made in one of the classes which was “If you do a proper plan for a project then, there is no need to depend on luck”. In addition Mr Nirmalan’s lectures motivated and enabled me to think differently, and the people in my organization was amazed about my way of thinking (innovative) and contribution towards Project Management.
- Ravikumar Sarjeevram, Project coordinator, at Alliance Development Trust (NGO) Sri Lanka
I attended Mr. Nirmalan's recent 3 days workshop on Project Management Methodology using PRINCE2 practices. It was a very fortunate opportunity for me to have Mr. Nirmalan as a Lecturer to improve my professional practices. He has a thorough knowledge in the subject and vast amount of experience in applying theory into practice. I felt so inspired and realized that he has made a difference. The entire purpose of education is to inspire creative and intelligent thought and Mr. Nirmalan made it. Therefore I wanted to write this and tell Mr. Nirmalan so. I believe the knowledge that he has given to us has made a difference in our lives and it is worth more than all the awards on the planet.

Thanks to Mr.Nirmalan, I had cleared many areas under PM. His skills towards the PRINCE2 methodology, is unbelievable. Every aspect has been covered with top to bottom explanations with real time scenarios within the project lifespan.” December 13, 2010.
