Hear from Our Past Students
"I was initially overwhelmed by the amount of information packed into the CertSFT course, however, I have been super impressed since I have been able to share some of what I learned with Industry Leaders that have not heard of some of the latest developments in Sustainability! Carel Van Randwyck is an excellent Tutor, addressing all our questions as well as balancing the course between reading and listening to podcasts and guest speakers. I am very pleased with what I have learned so far and look forward to sharing this with the wider Treasury community."
