Even though I’ve been working as a trainer for more than 10 years now, this program is useful in sharing new ways to conduct trainings, such as the training cycle management and the tools to use to effectively convey messages to participants. These are information I learned not only from the resource persons but also from the MI facilitators and also my fellow participants. 

One of the most impressive activities of this training for me are the games because we learn things like collaboration and communication. I also like that MI has a coordinator that takes care of many details for us right from the very beginning. I have attended other training courses and I must say, this is one of the best trainings I have attended so far.
