 UNITAR
course was a new experience that provided me with the opportunity to share
views with my colleagues from variant countries all around the world especially
through the discussion board and forums. This course was more than what
I expected from a simple on-line training course. I believe that the 6
theoretical and practical modules as well as the other materials and introduced
articles were well written by the experienced and skilled scholars and
trainers and the course was well organized.

I
was studying with a great enthusiasm, I was waiting impatiently for the
discussion board questions, then was the discussion with other fellows
and answers and explanations for our trainers. At the end of the Course
it was mentioned that it is very difficult to be a chairman of the Conference
but there was a suggestion for us also to act as a "chairman"
during some kind of meetings and it was a good idea for starting. But,
you can not even imagine, that at the end of the Course I was elected
as a vice-chairman of one international working group!

 Sincerely,
I can say without hesitation that my participation to this UNITAR’s
first on-line course is one of the best experiences of my diplomatic
studies and career. Before the course, I thought I was a giant. During
the course I realized I was a dwarf. After, I believe I became wise.
This UNITAR’s training provided me with a relevant knowledge which
is more than certain face-to-face workshops I followed.

Participating
in this UNITAR e-learning course has been an invaluable experience that
has far exceeded my expectations. The thoughtful discussions and the active
engagement by such a diverse group of participants is truly a testimony
to the quality and commitment of UNITAR’s “e-Learning support
team”, including the dedicated trainers. The course content has
very real applications and I have been amazed at how often I refer to
this course in my daily life. Many thanks, UNITAR!

 The
course utilized a unique blend of formal and informal teaching tools,
real-life situations, and afforded the opportunity for participants from
varying backgrounds and cultures to interact and exchange experiences.
We benefited not only from the knowledge of the tutors in responding to
the several questions posed but also for their ability to provoke further
discussion and analysis by the participants themselves. I have no doubt
that this training has equipped me with additional skills that I can apply
in my professional career.

 This
course was a genuine learning experience. It offered challenging and rewarding
modules and additional resources, and a peer group comprising people from
all over the world. The tutors’ comments on the discussion board
postings suggested real engagement with the participants’ work.
I have acquired some knowledge and skills that continue to impact positively
in my present line of work and I would recommend this course to anyone.
