“I absolutely loved this course. I really respect Lila, it was evident that she was a subject matter expert, but she was able to instruct us on our own level and made each unit very easily digestible. Moreover, it was very encouraging to have input from other students. Knowing that there were others in similar business situations to me created a safer space where I 1felt confident asking questions. It was a non-judgement zone, so I felt empowered and understood. I don’t usually like webinars, but the formatting of this one was infinitely preferable to a one day class. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I like the video/live session combinations. The videos are at a good pace and interesting, and the live sessions help with learning retention.”
“I’m so grateful for this class and the material. It gives me hope and structure for developing a trade compliance program, specifically a manual. “
