I found the Professional Certificate in Arms Trade Policy and Leadership to be a really useful course that helped me gain a deeper understanding of the industry. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, and I liked that they included a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. One thing that I found particularly helpful was the section on leadership skills, which gave me some great tips on how to effectively manage teams and communicate with stakeholders. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more case studies from the Middle East region, as this would make the course even more relevant to my work.
