What Did you enjoy about the program?
What I enjoyed most about the program was the way it was delivered online with clear, simple, and easy-to-follow presentations. Each module was explained in a practical manner, making even complex research concepts very understandable.
I appreciated how the trainers combined theory with real examples, which helped me connect the lessons to real project work.
I also enjoyed learning different research methods and tools, especially the step-by-step guidance on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The sessions on referencing tools, project implementation, and monitoring and evaluation were particularly valuable and immediately applicable to my professional work.
Finally, I appreciated the supportive learning environment created by the trainers. Their responsiveness and willingness to guide us through questions made the online experience engaging and effective. Overall, the program was simple, well-structured, and very impactful.
