Anatolí, ESCUELA OFICIAL DE IDIOMAS DE RIVAS-VACIAMADRID, Spain
The course was excellent and as it 10 years of management in business were summarized in 5 days and tackled to meet the expectations and standards of EU proposal writing expectations. The ideas and management strategies and processes were polished and sharpened to be able to transform an idea to an actual winning proposal. Right on the spot, excellent training and entertaining. Highly recommended.
