I took up this course as per andragogy assumptions i.e my job demanded the knowledge I gained from this course and I was applying all what I learnt to solve my day to day work-related issues. I loved the approach of the lecturers. They were of fine expertise and always ready to help us. Needless to mention that we were promptly informed of all the programme related activities much earlier, which helped me plan my schedule accordingly.
