Attendees comments

"The event was very well organized. The learning units on the online platform are a valuable addition to the face-to-face sessions and the content fits in very well with the seminar documents. Both speakers were very competent and conveyed the seminar content in a really practical way. I have already been able to implement many topics in my day-to-day work. I also really like the fact that the exam doesn't have to be taken immediately after the end of the course. This allows you to deal with the course content over a longer period of time, which is therefore much more effective."
