The training was oganised remotely, we were asked to perform not very difficult tasks, and also held the useful and fascinating webinars. At the beginning of training, I was a little lazy and did not understand why I needed all this, but then I “got involved”, so to speak, and began to raise my score. As a result, I completed my studies and received a distinguished certificate. And now I have recruited my own group and went together through training on this site.” (spelling and punctuation of the author saved)
