Calificaciones y revisiones
Excellent Course , Strongly recommended for all humanitarian field workers
Relevant and easy to understand and apply content. Professional delivery by qualified tutors.
Excellent course, I´ve already shared it with my Translator and Interpreter colleagues in the UK.
Very well presented. All of the lecturers are professional communicators, while some things seem obvious, it´s actually harder to put into practice such concepts in a crisis and under pressure.
Good choice of case studies and questions. The Ebola epidemic may be repeated, perhaps, becoming more fatal and killing many more thousands and potentially millions if the correct measures are not taken. Communication in such crises is key to managing and containing the crisis.
This course highlights the importance of any humanitarian worker to communicate effectively in the context of his/her environment. The course contains all the relevant documents which form the international norms used by Humanitarian Agencies such as ICRC, MSF and the UN.
Thank you for allowing me to participate in this course.
