5 Stars

"I liked that the course was very comprehensive and practical, providing clear explanations on child protection, gender issues, and peacekeeping responsibilities. The real-life examples and case studies made it easier to connect the concepts to field situations. I also appreciated the structured format and the emphasis on collaboration across different mission components."
