...more praise on our Wall of love
Incredible work from everyone who came together to pull this off - a huge thank you! ...for what it's worth, this was way better than any course I've ever taken at university ;)
The course took away my ominous feeling about CSRD being this big insurmountable task - it feels manageable now.
A wide array of content packed into a 9-week course, a must-have for CSRD practitioners! The course allowed me to dive deeper into the mystical world of the new directive and what it actually means, now it feels way easier to approach - thanks to LFCA!
I have learnt a huge amount and really value each speaker highly. Great content and discussions throughout the course.
I've found it incredibly insightful and felt like I've learned so much. The speakers have been really engaging… each lesson was packed with valuable information, designed to set us up for real-world success.
In-depth but comprehensible, delivered to a high standard by an impressive range of experts. I came away with a good grasp of the big picture as well as much of the detail… Warmly recommended!
