Student Reviews
This is exactly what I was looking for.
A set of Rules and Procedures for how to map Business Processes.
I despise the 'willy-nilly' nature of several other courses I've seen.
This one provides a language of it's own that is functional for creating and understanding process flows.
Highly Recommended
Mr Murphy, I am extremely satisfied with the results. Your experience, education and knowledge is exactly what I received from a Professor that knows his audience and delivers the skills I can add to my arsenal.
This a very high level online class.
Thank you.
100% Satisfied
Excellent Course
