Mr. Fourtounas excellent guidance, combined with the lessons and his detailed PowerPoint presentations, significantly enhanced my understanding and prepared me to successfully pass the exam.

Dear Athanasios, Thank you very much for all the recommendations in the process of preparing for the exam. I couldn’t have done it without your guidance!
First of all, I want to express to you Athanasios, my sincere thanks for the excellent preparation and dedication you have shown during our MP2 Methodology training. Your knowledge, patience and support have been fundamental to my development and learning. Thanks to your guidance, I feel much more confident and prepared to face the challenges that arise. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you have invested in my training. Your way of explaining the concepts has made each session an enriching and motivating experience.

Your patience in answering my questions and the extra time you invested in helping me have been invaluable. I truly appreciate the effort you made to ensure I felt prepared and equipped for the challenge. Anyone who follows your instructions to prepare for the exam will definitely achieve their goal.
Hi Athanasios, I would like to thank you for the great support provided and for the guidance along the training sessions and, afterwards, while I was going through the test preparation. The tips shared and your expertise of the subject has saved a lot of time and effort to have a clear picture on where to focus my energies to succeed.
During the PM2 workshop it helped a lot that there were plenty of real-life examples that showcased what we should avoid or copy in our work as PMs. Thanasis was very helpful and easy to understand, while in other courses someone might lose interest over time, our facilitator in PM2 workshop kept our interest high and made the course both informative and interesting.
What I liked the most in the PM2 Workshops was the case studies provided by the instructor related with the topics of the methodology. Instructor is expert in the topics of PM2 methodology and with various case studies helps participants to understand the methodology better.
I particularly appreciated the comprehensive coverage of the PM² methodology, which was presented in a clear and structured manner. The interactive sessions and real-world case studies provided practical insights. Additionally, the collaborative environment encouraged active participation and knowledge sharing among attendees, which enhanced the overall learning experience. The facilitator (Thanasis Fourtounas) effectively communicated complex concepts in an accessible manner. His enthusiasm and expertise created an engaging learning environment, making the sessions both informative and enjoyable. The facilitator was also responsive to questions and provided clear, actionable feedback, which greatly enhanced the workshop experience.
Mr. Fourtounas is an excellent, truly engaging, workshop leader. He has made this complex topic of project management very digestible for me, especially that my background is in marketing and communications. His exemplary approach is tailored to each and every one of his students, truly putting in the effort to ensure his students understood the information. The workshop was engaging in the sense that it was diverse, including case studies, examples across sectors, and practical experiences from Mr. Fourtounas. I feel absolutely ready and confident in my Project Management abilities after this workshop and after Mr. Fourtounas’s mentorship.
The PM² workshop was exceptionally beneficial for my role as a Research Associate. The sessions provided a clear framework for managing complex research projects efficiently, with practical tools that I’ve already started applying in my work. Mr. Fourtounas expert guidance and use of research-focused examples made the content highly relevant to my field. The workshop not only enhanced my project management qualifications but also equipped me to lead multidisciplinary teams with confidence.
“The PM2 methodology is the leanest, most straightforward and most efficient way to achieve excellence in project management theoretical knowledge. The practical workshops involved helped a great deal with using the theory and getting more familiar with a vast toolkit of the methodology. In short, it is an amazing and stable foundation of knowledge upon which practical experience will be built and grown sustainably for years to come.”
As an architectural engineering student, the PM² workshop gave me a new perspective on managing design and construction projects. The practical examples and hands-on exercises clarified how project management can be applied to the technical and creative aspects of my field. Mr. Fourtounas made the sessions highly engaging, and his tailored guidance showed how PM² principles align with real-world challenges and opportunities. I now feel prepared to approach projects systematically, ensuring both innovation and efficiency.
I recently attended a PM² workshop led by Athanasios Fourtounas, and it provided valuable insights into project management and the PM² framework. I particularly appreciated the use of real-world case studies, which made the concepts practical and relatable. The course was engaging and highly relevant to improving project management practices.
The PM² seminar was a game-changer for me as a marketing, communications and PR student. The workshop emphasis on planning, stakeholder management, and efficient communication strategies is directly applicable to my future career. Mr. Fourtounas interactive approach and examples made the sessions engaging and practical. I now have a structured understanding of project management, which will help me confidently organize campaigns and manage client relationships in a professional setting.
Completing the PM2 course was a challenging yet rewarding experience. It is intensive and requires a lot of commitment. However, under Athanasios’ guidance, the learning process is greatly facilitated. His teaching style is effective, and his approach is simple and clear, demonstrating his vast experience and knowledge of the subject. His approach instils confidence, enabling us to approach the exam with assurance and achieve success. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Athanasios for his invaluable guidance and support.
The PM2 course was a highlight of the year. After completing my bachelor’s degree in construction engineering at SDSU, I was continuously searching for great courses in order to gain even more knowledge in project management. PM2 methodology is exactly what you need if you want to improve the mentality of how the project should be managed. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing trainer—Athanasios Fourtounas, who was very helpful throughout the course. I am sure PM2 methodology, by its complexity, will be a very important tool in my future professional journey.
Previously, I took another training course with Prof. Fourtounas to get certified as an RMP, and due to the excellent results we achieved and the interest he sparked in me for project management, I didn’t hesitate to participate in the PM2 Advanced Workshop. Professor Fourtounas is a top-level instructor; not only did he help us understand the course topics but he also provided us with many resources and real-life cases for analysis. I am grateful for the effort he puts into each training session, and I look forward to studying more with him in the future.
My recent experience with the PM2 semiran was literally next to excellent! Even though it was my first time I was involved with project management I can assure that the structure and the tuition of the program familiarized me with the topic really quick. The lessons were delivered in a very simple and understandable manner and the whole training procedure was very smooth. The trainer was very approachable throughout the procedure and always eager to help and guide me. Very professional work and for sure highly recommend. I will choose Human Asset for next seminars.
Having worked on several projects in my career either as part of the core project team or as project manager myself, I recognize the added value of the PM2 methodology as a simple and efficient process line and would recommend it for projects in all domains and of all sizes. I had the chance to meet and work with Thanasis Fourtounas on the learning process and would like to thank him in particular for his dedication, his ability to pass on his knowledge and his flexibility. Thanasis is very knowledgeable on this matter and very passionate when it comes to teaching new members of the PM2 alliance making the process easier and fun!
“Sensing the need to expand my knowledge in the field of Project Management, I discovered that a good choice was the PM2 certification of the European Commission. The methodology curriculum was a relatively new field of knowledge for me. Mr. Athanasios Fourtounas, with his experience and passion for Project Management, provides comprehensive, pleasant and above all accurate training. I urge those interested in PM2 to look for him and seek cooperation with him. Dear old colleague, thank you for your help and I always wish you success.”
”I strongly recommend the PM2 methodology to everyone who would like to invest in their professional and personal growth. The supportive material provided by the lecturer was highly organised, accessible and adaptable to real life projects. Mr Fourtounas was an inspiring and supportive lecturer that did not only taught us the importance of project management to a theoretical level. His real-life examples helped us put the given theory into a context in order for us to see the actual value of the PM2 methodology in real-world situations.”
”Thanasis is an outstanding trainer with solid knowledge of Project Management and its methodology PM2. He will guide and support you promptly until the coveted certification. I strongly recommend Human Asset’s PM2 methodology preparation seminar to anyone wishing to get certified in Project Management and get a comprehensive knowledge of PM2 methodology.”
The PM2 Seminar circle led by Thanassis Fourtounas is very well structured and streamlined, presented in a direct and friendly way, aiming all participants to succeed in obtaining the PM2 Advanced Certification. It is evident that the courses has been made taking into account comments and suggestions of previous participants and adjusted to contain all relevant material necessary to familiarize participants with PM2 methodology, supported with engaging examples from real life projects. Thanassis and Human Asset have put extra effort into making the material accessible and usable in future application of the methodology in our daily work, allowing other methodologies and practical knowledge to be used harmoniously. I would definitely recommend to colleagues, both starters and experienced in Project Management.
“The need to finally certify the work I have been doing for years through an official way brought me to my old mentor Athanasios. By the very first moment he helped me understand how the PM2 methodology can easily be implemented inside my working environment and make my life easier. I have found the methods and procedures followed during the course extremely helpful to understand and to cultivate in my mind the culture of project management. Athanasios has been very helpful, supportive, precise and methodical in order to prepare and guide all of us in the best way not only for the exams and the certification itself but to the whole methodology mindset and this can work in the real world. I totally recommend Human Asset and especially Athanasios Fourtounas as a trainer for this course. Thank you very much for the experience. Wish you all the best!“
I have found the methods followed during the course extremely helpful to understand and to cultivate in my mind a culture of project management according the PM2 methodology. Athanasios has been really helpful and straightforward to the needs and the concepts of the methodology and his examples are all within the mindset of the methodology and how it could be assimilated from public and/or private entities in their operational environment. Since the beginning of the course in day 1, I have identified that he is giving me what I need in order to learn and eventually receive the PM2 certification. I do highly recommend Athanasios and this course, exactly as he was recommended to me. Wish you all the best!

I feel that, along with one’s personal studying, the workshop he creates, which is based on a real-world application of the Methodology, is more than adequate to help one succeed. Thank you Thanasis, and thank you Human Asset!
It was a great/pleasant surprise for me to attend to the PM2 (Project Management Methodology). Knowledge was/is/will be always a strong tool to move things forward and Human Asset has that and through continuous efforts/improvements the results are remarkable. I met and attended previously PMI-RMP and I put my expectation higher this time. Mr. A. Fourtounas once more achieved the highest.
