”Ideal workshop for a wide range of people involved in the procurement process (public buyers, legal consultants,...) who are familiar with public procurement but lack the proper know-how to use standards correctly and efficiently in the procurement process. Clear and to the point.” - Benjamin Libens, Bosa, Belgium. 2020.06.24

 

“Dissemination brief, concrete, accurate from educators. The process was really well put together, and the teaching has led to a clear opportunity to test theory in practice. " - Martin Larsen, Aalborg Supply. 2019.10.23.

 

” The structure of the course. It starts elementary and ends in concrete terms" - Vores Elnet, Fyn 2020.02.21
