I enjoyed it. I came to the webinar knowing nothing about the process, and I got away with a lot of knowledge. I enjoyed the chat between Andreas and Dale during the presentation, sharing their experience and complementing each other, that was knowledge beyond videos and presentations.

It was very good, I was impressed, I would have loved to do this course in person but this was a good alternative. The speakers were very good, very knowledgeable but also good at teaching/ relating information. The presentations were easy to follow, it was useful to have the documents there to follow along as the speakers talked. All the content was relevant to the topic and occasional humus. I enjoyed the course and would recommend Management Forum to my colleagues.
