"It is one of the best online courses I have done, I love that it is constantly evolving and reactive to participant needs. Even though I have already completed the course I go back in and use additional resources and continue to grow my knowledge."

CSRD PROFESSIONAL (LEVEL 3)
"Overall very good coverage of ESRS content and CSRD generally. Good to see the background at start too and how we got to CSRD. Great to see ongoing references to the standards themselves e.g. AR 16 etc. This is constant throughout the course and very useful for those approaching CSRD reporting from a hands on perspective. From someone who has spent a lot of time on the topical standards with clients, I found the other chapters and sections of ESRS very insightful."
