What our learners say

CSRD Professional (level 3)
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 Advanced (level 2)
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. It provided me with the knowledge and the starting tools I need to navigate the evolving landscape of CSRD. Thank you for offering such a valuable program!
