"I recently completed the management certificate program… I went into it hearing it was going to be like a ‘mini MBA,' and that is absolutely the truth. We went on day one, sat down immediately, and we went all day long, every day for five days. While it was intensive, the amount of knowledge that we gained coming out of that certificate program is unmatchable.”
