PARTICIPANT’S COMMENTS
I have taken many certification programs, some of them via online mode. When I first embarked on the CTMS/CTMP program, I was amazed with the amount of information that was available in the program. The content was thoughtfully designed, and the context was practical in nature. Everything was geared towards student learning. This is one of the best, if not the best program I have ever taken.
