“I have achieved my ambition of becoming a locally relevant and internationally competitive professional that I have always aimed at.

The HR Practitioners were very professional and also approachable. Their relation to participants was really ahead of quality, especially the patience at which they had to dissect questions that were asked,” Ezekiel Antwi-Kusi, a participant said.
