Read MoreWhen I entered the course, I was skeptical about the program and myself. Am I going to be able to do it? Is it hard? Is it useful? As soon as I entered the first classroom I was thrown in a middle of a new team, people who I didn't know, will probably never talk to again but I was set up to fix problems. And that's what we do. While I was going through the Modules, I realized that I can use the information every day, in every situation. It is updated to real-time, post-pandemic topics as well. I am amazed at how it was. Thanks for the amazing trainers as well. They are a smart bunch.
