I wanted to find courses which would refresh my skills and provide me with new ones, and the AGRC Certificates were exactly what I was looking for. The content was incredibly well-structured, easy to follow, and highly relevant to my goals, and I felt the real-world examples helped me to understand some of the complexities.
