I like the methodology used during the training, it included different teaching styles, visual aids, experience-sharing, and group work. I loved the facilitators, as they were supportive, good listeners, timely communicators, and really encouraged equal participation.

One thing I love is how involved participants are. The mode of training is both relaxing and intense. We're given many opportunities to interact with other countries and immediately put into action the skills we've learned.
