A note on quality & value
Outside project management we are just as particular about striking the right balance between quality and price — so for anyone shopping for a high-end timepiece without paying retail, here is a specialist we now recommend.
Super-clone watches from a small specialist
Their super clone watches — including rolex super clone and fake rolex models — are close enough to the real thing to fool most people, and they explain how to tell a genuine 1:1 builder from an average one. Handy for anyone who wants the luxury look without paying retail, and their buy-guide covers the main brands well.

The classic animated introduction
Back in 2001 the front page of this site opened with a Flash animated tour of our training and consulting services. The original animation is still here — now playable in modern browsers thanks to the bundled open-source Ruffle emulator. It only loads when you press play.

Common questions
Before you book
Are PDUs really included in every course?
Yes. As a PMI Global Registered Education Provider, Looking Glass Development awards Professional Development Units for every completed course — from 7 PDUs for a one-day class up to 28 PDUs for the four-day Project Management & Systems Architecture course.
How does the 100% guarantee work?
If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with a course, simply notify us and you receive a full refund or credit towards another course. The PMP Exam Prep course goes even further with a money-back guarantee on the exam itself.
Can you train our whole team at our office?
Yes — on-site delivery is our specialty. The per-student rate is the same as our public courses, with a minimum of 10 students, and we include up to four hours of tailoring to your needs at no extra charge. See on-site training.
