What do our alumni say?

"I was very impressed with the professionalism and approach of our lecturer, Ms Vanda Šinková, and the active interaction with other participants. I have completed 3 of the 4 HR Academy modules and all of them have been very beneficial for my work. Although some parts of individual modules are not fully applicable in the environment in which I currently work (a corporation where it is sometimes not possible to set up a process), I am certain I will be able to apply the acquired knowledge in the future. All the 2-day modules were of benefit and are a suitable tool for the development of HR specialists as regards a better understanding of the HR function at different companies. The online module was a particular challenge – I felt the lack of personal interaction, and though we all had cameras, it was just not the same. I prefer face-to-face contact during training courses, although, of course, I understand this was unavoidable due to the epidemic, and I must say the organization of the training course was perfect."

František Jenčo, HR Business Partner

"HR Academy provides excellent training which gives you, in addition to theoretical knowledge, plenty of practical experience, both from the lecturer and from other participants. It is a great motivation and a strong benefit that you can discuss day-to-day activities from work with colleagues from other spheres, and get a different perspective on various issues, and draw on the experience of others working in the sector. HR Academy is an ideal combination of training, discussion, testing case studies in groups, and exchanging experience with each other."
