‘Rewarding Experience’: Student who recently completed the certificate shares her thoughts
I would like to sincerely thank the instructors and commend them for their dedication and passion for teaching. They truly made the class a rewarding experience, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from them. The instructors supplemented the material with relevant case studies and real-life examples. This approach helped me understand the practical application of the knowledge I gained throughout the course. They also fostered a positive and inclusive online class environment where students felt comfortable asking questions and participating in discussions. I wholeheartedly recommend the Private Investigation Certificate program to any student interested in pursuing or expanding a career in this field.
