Learning Experience: Course was divided very well into different parts in a sequence where we see basics and the real world concept based training of mind. Smooth interface and mentor guidance on student comfort. It challenged my analytical skills to get more sharp and get an added advantage in HR field.
Faculty: Excellent trained faculty that kept our feedbacks and questions at priority so that we never miss out on anything. Both are mentors were too kind and passionate about teaching us that we enjoyed our time the most with live QNA and email support. Sharing real life examples and visual demonstration to show us the deep pool of knowledge in this field. Updated and well researched data and concepts were taken into the course and all the questions were taken from students to make it better. Such abundance of practical skills and Task based assignments in reasonable cost was i amazed of.
Course Support: I was handling the HR department only before this course now i maintain the client business communication and take care of the digital releases of the enterprise
