This course gave me an understanding of NATO’s mechanisms among other valuable information. The instructors were excellent. Overall very well organized and interested with external lecturers.
Very well-structured course. Great course facilitators. I gained better insight and new concepts that added to my knowledge of CMDR.
I found the course well-structured, interactive, very informative, rich in terms of materials available (both documents and videos). The course discussions touched upon various interesting aspects and enabled me to learn different viewpoints. The final week exercise showed a very realistic scenario that helped me to understand better how the information learned in previous weeks can be utilised in practice. I would certainly further recomend the course.
