" After nine months since the end of the session, I am glad to inform that its impact is visible on the way that the integrated Mission Training Centre carries out its trainings, from analysis to evaluation.For instance, our Mission-wide training needs assessment exercise became much more comprehensive, and focuses a lot more on the performance problems that we can help to address.Other than that, there has been a great improvement on the way IMTC trainers design, develop, deliver and evaluate their activities. They definitely have become more professional after the course.“
