Attendees comments
"I would recommend the Haufe Akademie 's online training because the concept works for me and there is no need to travel. The small setting of 6 participants was very good for getting into conversation with the seminar leader and for asking comprehension questions.
The training event delivered what the content description had set as a framework."
