Testimonial / BAHATI Augustin
Masters in Project Management Student (Since 2024)
My name is BAHATI Augustin from Rwanda, and I have been pursuing a Master’s degree in Project Management at Scandinavian Advanced College (SCAC) since 2024. My academic journey at SCAC has been both intellectually enriching and professionally transformative, particularly in strengthening my capacity to lead and manage development-oriented initiatives.
One of the most impactful aspects of my experience has been the practical and applied nature of the coursework. For instance, through the “Fundamentals of Project Management” course, I gained critical competencies in project planning, scheduling, team leadership, and risk management. The program effectively integrates theoretical frameworks with real-world application, enabling me to connect concepts such as scope, cost, time, and performance (PCTS) with the day-to-day realities of managing community-based and non-profit projects.
The use of structured tools including Gantt charts, Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), and earned value analysis has significantly enhanced my ability to design, implement, and monitor projects with greater precision and accountability. Moreover, the emphasis on defining problems clearly before initiating projects has reshaped my approach to planning, reducing inefficiencies and improving outcomes in my professional practice.
Beyond technical skills, SCAC has also deepened my understanding of leadership in project management. I have come to appreciate the importance of communication, collaboration, and servant leadership in achieving sustainable project success. The learning environment encourages reflection, critical thinking, and continuous improvement, which has strengthened both my confidence and competence as a project leader.
The flexibility of SCAC’s online learning model has been instrumental in allowing me to balance academic advancement with my ongoing professional responsibilities in community development and organizational leadership. This adaptability makes SCAC an ideal institution for working professionals seeking to enhance their qualifications without compromising their current engagements.
In conclusion, my journey at Scandinavian Advanced College has been highly rewarding. The knowledge, skills, and perspectives I have gained are already making a tangible impact on my work and will continue to shape my future career in project management and development practice. I strongly recommend SCAC to anyone seeking a rigorous, flexible, and practically oriented education.
Sincerely,
BAHATI Augustin
