General Evaluation
The contents, reasonable durations, and interactivity of the courses offered made it great. Besides, I didn't experience any technical issue during the courses. Although English or Spanish is not my native language, I hadn't have any problem to understand. The teaching language was clear for al courses I have taken so far.

As a sustainability adviser
As a sustainability adviser, this course was invaluable for updating my CSRD knowledge. Clients consistently tell me they value current, practical insight. The training allowed me to apply the ESRS in a practitioner-led way, giving clients confidence that they’re compliant with the law while advancing their strategic goals in branding, positioning, marketing and commercial performance.

A Robust and Valuable Program with Excellent Support
The GRI Certification Program offers an exceptionally well-structured curriculum with clear, practical learning objectives that build a comprehensive understanding of the Standards. The content is directly relevant for real-world application. I was particularly impressed by the professional support I received after a technical exam issue, the team's fair and thorough review process demonstrated a true commitment to their candidates. This positive resolution, combined with the high-quality learning materials, makes me a strong advocate. I feel well-equipped to apply this knowledge and highly recommend the program to sustainability professionals.
