"I was a R&D engineer for a long time before I started a tech start-up a few years ago. I have been learning management and leadership skills the hard way, usually through mistakes. This programme enables engineers like me acquire essential management and leadership skills. Many topics resonate well with my personal experience and have helped me understand how I should do certain things. The training has been an enlightening and enriching experience for me. I wish I had taken such a course years ago. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who is an engineer by training."
