Dr Paul is very good mentor and teacher for project management.He teaches us using real project assignment combined with newest theory of project management. I have a lot of project assignment within 6 months, which help me shaping my project management skills until I've got my CCP Certification. Again Thank You for everything Dr Paul.

Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo was my professor for the International Contracts Management course at Skema Business School Lille. He is highly competent and professional teacher. I admire his way to challenge the students, it was a very good exercice. He is one of the most knowledgeable professor I ever met. He helps me a lot to improve my skills and knowledge in project management and international contract management. I will highly recommend Dr Giammalvo as professor or mentor !

Course by Dr Paul are excellent and worthy. Dr Paul has create great brand image among his client in companies and individual that get satisfaction from his course . His course is honest, his purpose is to build competency since project management, cost engineering and quantity surveyor is life's work, his calling which lead him to his doctorate. Some time it becomes brutal truth because his concern is his student and his client get return on investment by having competency to implement best practices for success of business.

I would like to recommend Dr. Paul Giammalvo as a PhD supervisor. He was my supervisor for my PhD program which I completed in August 2012. I have come across many other PhD's who supervised PhD candidates in the past, and found that Paul has something most, if not all, of the other supervisors don't have. That is he goes above and beyond the call of duty when it came to helping me navigate through the maze of researching and writing a dissertation. Even more, Paul was an excellent cheerleader when I needed it most; something that I found none of the other supervisors could/would do for their PhD candidates. There are times during a PhD student's journey when he/she finds them facing what appears to be an insurmountable brick wall; it certainly happend to me several times. Paul was able to help keep my spirits up and think positively. On top of this, he was a great sounding board with respect to discussing several of the technical aspects of my paper. Lastly, he has been a great friend over the past several years. Thanks Paul, thank you for everything!

Paul was my mentor during the 6-month CCC/E certification program. He possesses tremendous amount of applicable knowledge and past experiences of project management, and he is willing to share his knowledge and experience to ensure the success of his students. His persistent encouragements have kept my eyes focused 'on the ball' all the way through this program.

Paul has a solid knowledge and GURU in Project Management, his project management course is really applicable, easy to follow and the best one I ever attend. He bring me to the real project management.

Dr. Paul is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced project manager with a solid and well earned professional reputation. He is a brilliant and demanding instructor who is actively involved and always available to provide guidance and mentorship. Curiously, the only course I could find of this calibre in professional costing, scheduling and project management was found in Jakarta. It was worth having to travel to the other end of the globe as this has by far been the most intense, rewarding and humbling PM program I have taken. This program delivers on its intent to provide solid foundations that can be used in the real world real world of oil, gas, mining, construction and telecommunications projects. I would highly recommend Dr. Paul and the PTMC/APMX program for those entrepreneurial project managers (and organizations) willing to aggressively invest (1 - 2 hours a day for six months plus 8+ days of class room time for 240+ hours of study time) to acquire and demonstrate the foundational knowledge and skills required for today’s project managers to succeed.

I had two intensive months of International Contracts courses with Dr Giammalvo. I would say "forget your cruising speed and work hard !". I learnt a lot, in short time, thanks to interesting and efficient lessons. He has high expectations and this is basically what motivated me. Dr Giammalvo is the kind of teacher you hardly ever meet, dedicated at 100% to his students and a proficient professional that shares his knowledge passionately. I definitely recommend.

I had the pleasure to have Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo as a trainer and coach in two Certification Preparation Courses and in 2010/11 as the supervisor and mentor of our Master Degree Thesis in Project and Program Management. In all occasions, Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo has shown his great passion about Project Management and has provided endless professional support. Thanks to Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo the Master Thesis has been an exciting journey, learning about the people side of project management. I have enjoyed the encouraging dialogues, appreciated the professional references, contacts and support as well as the inspiring motivations, which he provided, even in sometimes challenging situations.

Dr. Paul is a highly comptenet , knowledgeable and experienced project management professional, who is adept at mentoring and facilitating course participants. Dr. Paul encouraged and challenged me to achieve the target goal of passing at least one(1) AACEI exam at first try. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who want results.

I had the unique opportunity to be trained by Professor. Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo in the field of International Contracts Management as part of my Masters in Project and Programme Management at SKEMA Business School. Dr. Paul exemplifies the characteristics of a World Class Leader and Coach in Project Management Industrial Training. With a vast experience of on-the-job projects and being a mentor to millions of students across the globe, Dr. Paul is truly a global training consultant in the field of Project Management one should sought after.

Thank you and Best Wishes.

Paul is remarkable in his work and never delivers anything less than excellence.

I have had the chance to work with Paul on as series of training seminars on Advanced Project Management in Australia, where he was the facilitator. Paul is an extremely professional and knowledgeable trainer and expert. The seminars he presented all rated very high with the delegates, eventually contributing to both better and further marcus evans' reputation. I will work with him without any hesitation on many more events.

I was a student from SKEMA BS in the Paris campus and I took the the course "Internal contract management" with Dr Paul. I appreciated his tutoring and his involvement for his students, he gave us the opportunity to write an academic paper in a well-know journal and gave us a great learning experience. Dr Paul push a lot his students to make sure they give their best and it was a very profitable experience for professional life. He dedicated all his energy and his time to help his students and was very comprehensive. During the course, he introduced fundamentals concepts in a multi-dimensional way and turn his course in an attractive one. I fully recommend Dr Paul to any institution that have the objective to educate their students on trending concepts and tools, but also to educate them with a professional perspective. Dr Paul has a vast experience and he is an excellent professor.

I highly recommend Paul as a consultant, educator, and trainer in modern project management across all areas of application. His approach is very practical yet well-grounded in theory, and he gets things done while telling it like it is and like it should be.

I was honoured to have Dr PDG as a professor and mentor for a course in International Contract Management. Dr PDG is a great supervisor, who is always available for you (literally at whatever hour of the day/night). He pushes you to give the BEST of what you have and advises you on how to improve your work and yourself. He is a fair, righteous, super organized person who likes things to be well-done. I am really grateful to him for what he taught me about having more confidence in what I am doing, how to be more organized and leaving some extra (buffer) time in my work. I enjoyed having a professor who has a well-structured methodology, gives clear instructions (no room for ambiguity), who pays attention to details and RESPECTS TIME. I recommend having Dr PDG for any course/training/program/project related to Contracts, especially in the field of Construction, or International Management. We need to work more with people that are as rigorous as he is and he is, without any doubt, one of the best in his field, so I highly recommend him as a mentor/coach. For further questions, you can contact me on LinkedIn and I would be happy to help. Sonia Bouden, Lille, France.

Dr PDG is great teacher. I am proud to be his student and direct me to collect my PMP Credential. Moreover, He taught a practical thing about project management and not just a theory. He is the right person if you want to learn and practice how to manage the project in the right way.

Dr Paul was my mentor on a 6-month Graduate level distance learning course in preparation for my Guild of Project Controls 'Expert' level competency based certification examination. The course content was well structured and at times served as a refresher to skills i had learned many years previously. I found Dr. Paul to be highly skilled in all areas of the Project Management, which you would expect from such a knowledgeable practitioner. He challenged me when needed, he coached me when needed, and he taught me to work smart, and instilled self belief in my abilities. I am eternally grateful to Dr.Paul and his Team back in Jakarta who prepared me to such a high level that I passed my "Expert" level competency certification. To anyone out there looking to further their knowledge/certification in project management, I recommend you seek out the mentorship of Dr. Paul, he's world class and you won't be disappointed.

I was a student of Dr. PDG in my master study in SKEMA. The learning experience with Dr. PDG was tough, hardcore and challengable but it totally worth at last. The course of Dr. PDG was well structured with abundant knowledge, and we were given an opportunity to write and publish an academic paper in a professional journal. I appreciated Dr. PDG's tutoring and help with my paper writing. Even he had to review 100+ student drafts every day, he managed to give everyone super detailed comments and instructions, which earn so much respect from me. And he always tries to push us to go beyond. I will never regret the study journey with Dr. PDG, and I would recommend Dr. PDG to any professional who wants to go beyond after the study.

Dr Paul has proven himself a competent Cost and Project management Professional, who has added exceptional value to my professional experience as a Cost Engineer. I have no hesitation recommending him to all cost and project management professionals who desire good success...

I got an opportunity to be Dr. Paul's student in an Advance Cost Engineering workshop in Dubai. I am truly inspired by his knowledge and experience as high calibre consulting professional that I have ever seen. He is brilliant and demanding instructor who is engages audience to think practical ways for addressing cost, planning and controls issues. Since I have had the opportunity of attending his classes, my horizon and way forward in my professional life has become clear. I would strongly recommend Dr. Paul to individuals and organisations, esp in developing countries like Pakistan for consulting and mentor-ship programs for Project Management Professionals.

The course was really interesting, well-structured and contained real-life examples that helped me understand the concept well. Dr. Paul made sure that each of us understood the objectives clearly and prepared us well for the outside world with his exquisite management style. We had a four-day class and rest 66 days were distant learning where Dr. Paul guided us throughout. It was my first-time experience of writing a research paper and this experience has given me the confidence for my thesis. Dr. Paul’s dedication, commitment and his love for coaching students are undoubtedly appreciable as he got back to each of his student with appropriate solution whenever anyone stumbled. It was an intense 70 days, and the result was fruitful.

He always encouraged us to strive for more and I can proudly say that he succeeded in that. So, I would highly recommend this course to all the students and professionals who are looking to learn a lot about the contract world and project management.

Paul has a great knowledge in Project Management. His seminars are fun and have helped me enormously in managing my projects. He is one of the most task oriented persons I have ever met, whereas is very personable and easy to talk to. I would be honored to work with him again.

I was Dr.Paul's student at SKEMA Business School in Paris Campus during September 2018 to December 2018. Different from most of the professors who stay only in theoretical level, Dr.Paul's course " International Contract Management" is extremely practical and interesting. Thanks to his 40+ years working experiences, we can benefit from him the latest practices in the industry. His courses are close to reality, well organized, and with rich examples and cases. Â He was strict, tough, highly disciplined. He prepared us in advance for the real working conditions in real life. Â At the same time, he devoted great patience in his teaching and demonstrated his professional qualities: In the team work, instead of staying aside and letting us solve the conflicts by ourselves, Dr.Paul anticipated the potential problems, and equipped us with powerful tools that can govern a team. It is during this process that we experienced real project management more than ever; In the individual work, he provided generous guidance to each student. Thanks to his great efforts, the research papers of some students are accepted for publicity! Â I also highly recommend Dr.Paul's GUILD OF PROJECT CONTROLS COMPENDIUM and REFERENCE (CaR), which can be found on www.planningplanet.com. This is an extraordinary work that covers comprehensive aspects of project management. Â Therefore, Dr.Paul is a distinguished professor. I appreciate being his student.

I was a student in Dr. Paul's International Contract Management class at Skema Business School in Paris in 2018. During those intensive and demanding 70 days, from Day 1 to the last day, Dr. Paul was dedicating his full time and energy in assisting his students to learn in an authentic professional environment. His teaching method helped me learn effectively so many things, not only about Project Management or Contract Management for my professional life but also lessons that I can use in my personal life to become a better version of myself. He differentiates himself from other teachers I know regarding his teaching style and techniques. He is also accommodating in providing his students with real opportunities and many more lessons from his experience he has accumulated from many different parts of the world. It is safe to say that Dr. Paul is, so far, one of the most devoted and motivating teachers I have known. I am very grateful for his genuine interest in coaching his students to be ready for the real Project Management world, and in equipping them with qualifications that will open doors to new opportunities for them. Therefore, I would very much recommend a training program by Dr. Paul to those, both young and professional, who want to learn and improve their professional and personal skills to be solid well qualified in the Project Management world.

From the commencement of the January ’09 AACE Certification Preparation Course that I attended in Jakarta, Indonesia, Dr. PDG achieved instant rapport with all of the many course participants of diverse cultural backgrounds and proved himself to be a Project / Program / Asset Management trainer and subject matter expert of the highest caliber. Dr. PDG’s enthusiasm for project management mixed with his uncanny ability to strongly connect with students and colleagues of all academic levels & varied career and cultural backgrounds make him the ultimate project management trainer, coach & mentor. Dr. PDG’s impact upon my career, and my life, have been profound, and he has my highest recommendation. Find him fast and learn from him!!

Dr. Paul guided me in prepararing CCE Exam, and he did a great job! I like the way he pushed us up to achieve the target. However as a mentor, he always says that he will do his part like a step by step explanation, then we have to do our part. The course he conducts has become the best value-for-money one in the region. It provides not only the materials to pass the certifications, but also the project management framework. On top of that, I personally appreciate his decision to live in Indonesia for more than 15 years.

Paul to me is one of the best and professional trainers I have worked with. His knowledge on project management is second to no other trainers I have met. But most of all, he is able to translate his vast experience into knowledge that benefis of his audience.

Dr. Paul is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced project manager with a solid and well earned professional reputation. He is a brilliant and demanding instructor who is actively involved and always available to provide guidance and mentorship. Curiously, the only course I could find of this calibre in professional costing, scheduling and project management was found in Jakarta. It was worth having to travel to the other end of the globe as this has by far been the most intense, rewarding and humbling PM program I have taken.

Dr Paul is one of the most outstanding, knowledgeable professors about project management that I have ever came across, his problem solving skills and intuitive thinking is second to none, he is an asset for all those aspiring to study under him & to gain his wealth of knowledge. I will recommend Dr Paul to anyone that is interested to take advantage of his immense services. Kind Regards Mo Haji

Dr. Paul D. Giammalvo can be considered in the “corps d'elite" in the Project, Program and Portfolio Management(3PM) industry. He has the unique ability to align 3PM academic knowledge with practical application. His passion and dedication for the profession was evident in his role as Project Manager for the AACE project to create a competency based credential for certifying Portfolio, Program and Project Management professionals. He is a natural leader with the ability to energize his team. Working with Dr. Giammalvo is a pleasure. I highly endorse him as a Portfolio, Program and Project Management professional and industry expert.

I had the opportunity of studying under Dr. Paul during my international project contracts course as part of my pursuance of master's degree in Project Management. During this course he introduced the concept of multi-dimensional work breakdown structures which caught my interest in this promising field. I therefore decided to master the topic by undertaking a master's research in the areas of work breakdown structures as a tool to increase project success supervised by Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul's guidance and guidance during every aspect of my research was next to none. His patience and undying willingness to provide me with all relevant information and to direct me on the right path during my quest to dissect and unravel this relatively new concept cannot be over emphasized. His availability for several Skype meetings and prompt responses with constructive feedback to each of my queries is indeed one to be admired, considering his busy schedule and frequent travels. I confidently recommend him to any institution of any level in their objective to not only educate their students on the trending tools and techniques of the project management domain but also providing them with industrial perspective judging from Dr. Paul's vast experience in the field. Thank you Dr. Paul for your fantastic supervision and guidance.
