I learned a lot of new things that I can use in every day work. It was a lot of work but at the end it definitely was worth doing it and learning new skills that I can use everywhere is priceless. This program is great stepping stone for anybody who wants to develop them self further in this industry.

It was really good.Flexible dates with exams and lessons since you can choose them when it suits you and your needs ( depending of you rota or you time to study) Great support from you designed trainers.They are always available if help is needed. Depending on you course which you choose you will get exactly lessons and activities that are closely related to that course.

In short 100%. Always available for any questions I had.Going even further and showing me how can we implement things that I learned to make things more clear for me. Flexible with rota( always make time for my meeting and exams) Giving me honest opinion, suggestions on my project and activities that I was doing.

Again 100% He was full of understanding if I didn’t had time to prep for exam or presentation giving me extra time. While doing activities, presentation and projects I could always show them before I submit it to see what are they thinking, is it good or I did I missed something.

80% of things that I learned I can use in every day work.Specially managing team members, how to motivate and develop them better, how to be more productive, understanding and seeing bigger picture,better understanding of our targets and best way of reaching them,and great help for future course
