Who We’ve Helped Train

Reviews We've Received

“The DPM course has given me access to in-depth, proven methods and practices that actually work for digital agencies. I highly recommend this course to DPMs of all experience levels!”
Sheila BizzellSenior Project Manager and Operations Manager at Digital Fire

“I really enjoyed the Mastering Digital Project Management course; it was challenging but achievable with my other work commitments and with the 360 approach of videos, webinars, assignments and peer reviews, I really felt I was learning something new at every step.”
Emmy ClarkDigital Project Manager at Cossette

“The tutorials are jam packed with information, the webinars back up the theory with experiences from people who work in the industry and discussion on the slack channel was really valuable. Not only did I learn a huge amount from the course but it’s also given me the confidence I need to work as a DPM. I’d recommend this course to anyone wanting to work in the industry.”
Charlotte EverardProject Manager at Freestyle Interactive

“If you’re looking to learn some management jargon and cookie-cutter processes, this is not the course for you. Ben pulls together theory and practical application into instruction that will have you adding new value as a Project Manager on day one.”
Matt ColemanProject manager at Truematter

“I am so glad that I went to the DPM Project Management School! I know what I learned throughout the seven weeks will greatly impact my career and company. I would highly recommend DPM School to anyone in Digital Project Management!”
Lauren StockardProject Manager at Blue Atlas Marketing

“I chose this project management course because of the highly relevant syllabus that aligns with the unique knowledge and skills needed to make it as a digital project manager. That along with the intimate virtual class setting has helped build my professional network and pave the way for my career as a DPM.”
Justin MannDigital Producer at Third & Grove

“My background is in development. I took the DPM course while beginning a move into a project coordination role, at my firm. The DPM course provided me a rich background in technical concepts, terms and exercises, I was able to utilize immediately. I now have a solid understanding of my new role, am confident in the value I add, and have a foundation to continue to build on.”
Wesley KnightFront-end Developer / Project Coordinator at FCV Interactive

“For the price, I got an enormous amount of value out of the DPM course. The lessons were relevant to my daily work as a PM—the takeaways and templates enabled me to add value to my projects, right from the first week of class.”
Camilla HalvorsenProject Manager at McCann

“This course fulfilled exactly what I had hoped. It gave me the confidence to declare myself a digital project manager by validating my experience to date and filling in any gaps with practical tips, tools, and resources. The course brought to light the true role of a digital PM and revealed the proper way to initiate and deliver projects. Further benefit came from a format that allowed both students and experts facing common challenges to all share learnings.”
Niki SwainDigital Marketing Manager at Royal Bank of Canada

“I recently purchased the DPM course and found it to be an excellent resource for beginners or anyone looking to up-level their skills and gain confidence. The material is clear, relateable and easy to consume. I found the webinars to be a wonderful addition to the course, helping to put a lot in perspective and provide great insight from other experienced DPMs. Sometimes as a DPM, you can feel isolated and wonder if what you're struggling with is normal. I highly recommend the course and the well-rounded knowledge it offers!”
Lauren CroteauProject Manager at Computan

“The course is exactly what I needed to fill in the gaps in my Project Management practical experience. The lessons, the way they are structured, the webinars with experts telling their stories from the field, the specific focus on the agency environment, were all just priceless!”
Mario SaviCustomer Experience Team Lead EMEA at DoubleDutch

“I found the DPM course invigorating, with wealth of information that got me thinking about how our studio manages its projects and how to improve. By the end of the course I had the tools and skills necessary to manage my projects and their budgets proactively rather than reactively. My most important take away was seeing the interrelationships between my estimates and my timelines, making it possible to manage my projects to their budgets. I'd recommend this course to any producer or PM who wants to gain a deep knowledge of how to manage projects in the digital world.”
John GatewoodProject Manager at XYZ Graphics

“The honest, funny and insightful interactive webinars with experienced digital PMs are one of the gems in this course. They open a rare window into managing digital projects you won’t get from self learning through blogs, podcasts, books or meet ups. It makes for a concentrated learning experience. But I found the format easy to fit into a busy schedule without falling behind. Getting a similar grasp of DPM purely through self learning would take years and require surviving a few disasters.”
Mathisha NihalsinghaDigital Production Manager, The LAD

“I boosted my skills in digital project management, which had an immediate impact at work when I successfully completed 20 web page projects and a multi-million dollar product formulation and shipment simultaneously. The web page and video sales letters will be going live right before products are able to be shipped!”
Mike CostanzaProject Manager at V Shred/Sculpt Nation

“I took the DPM course to gain confidence and expand my knowledge, apply what I was learning, and hopefully step from Account Manager to DPM within my agency. I enjoyed the webinars, the many resources, and being able to talk with other DPM’s around the world. It gave me a structured guide through an entire project lifecycle, explaining to approach not only a project and the client but my internal team too, the course made me more confident in what I was doing and that I was in fact on the right track.”
Heather BassettJunior Account Manager, Element78

“The course is a true value for anyone who wants to gain confidence and fill any gaps with the guidance and insights from experienced DPMs. It helped us as an agency, by showing us the way to properly initiate, manage and deliver our projects. Highly recommended for DPMs of all experience levels.”
Neophytos PapageorgiouCo-Founder & Production Director at Blend Digital Agency

“I’m glad I found Ben’s DPM school, he even guided me and gave me an idea of how to resolve my current pain points in terms of handling the project. I took the DPM course because I wanted to enhance my communication and estimation skills, I was so uncertain with it before I took the course, but now, I felt confident with no more doubts, turns out everything went flawless!”
Hsiang LeeProject Manager, Tenten

“Before taking this course, I was extremely overwhelmed thinking about how I was going to learn everything necessary to be successful in my new role without having any previous experience in Project Management. After completing this course, I have a valuable set of new resources and skills, and I am 100% confident in my future as a Project Manager!”
Timothy MarmonAnalytics Project Manager, Spring Venture Group

“Even though the course has ended, I still refer to the video lessons, panel discussions, and resources provided in this course to complement the skills I am learning in the workplace.”
Nancy NguyenProject Coordinator, Mighty Citizen

Erin FossumProject Manager, Miles Partnership

“Our company is a new start-up agency in manufacturing. We needed a project manager, and I was selected due to my organizational and time management skills. The DPM course really helped me understand the role of a digital project manager and their various responsibilities. While I was unsure about accepting the position before the course, I now have the confidence to own it an do what it takes to be successful at it.”
