"I particularly appreciated the engaging nature of the course and the practical activities. The content was well-structured and easy to follow, and Kristine did a great job of explaining complex concepts clearly through those small videos. I found the real-world examples particularly helpful in understanding how the CSRD requirements apply in practice. Overall, I highly recommend the CSRD Advanced course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of sustainability reporting."

CSRD aDVANCED (LEVEL 2)
"What I appreciated most about the CSRD Advanced Course was how it went beyond theory to provide practical, real-world applications. The course didn’t just explain the CSRD framework- it showcased how companies are integrating it into their reports, offering concrete examples and providing files with the specific data points required for compliance. This hands-on approach helped shift CSRD from an abstract concept to a tangible, actionable reporting standard."

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."

Excellent support material and proper guidance."
