Very good. I liked all parts of this event. Both [speakers] were communicative, expressed themselves perfectly, exposed the topic very well and detailed. I recommend.

Presentations/content and speakers were well rounded and provided valuable information for my job that showed the experience they had to give me confidence in the information provided. The whole program, process and all was well worth the cost and time. I will recommend to others - already have!

Salma Ismail was very good. She did speak with passion and I liked her way how she presented the different topics. Makram Nehme was also very good.

Fantastic speaker, really experienced and able to give real 'examples' of dealing with the authorities. Lovely to be able to ask questions so readily (rather than at the end of the topic/country) - this made the day much more interesting/interactive, which I much prefer.

I learnt a lot from this course, I am glad that it was taught based on experience rather than just being taught the guidelines. The information about how the process actually works rather than how it should work was very helpful.

It was an amazing course, the speakers were experienced and the content of the course fitted with my expectations. It was also great to share and compare experiences in the area.
