IACCM certification is becoming a necessity in today’s rising importance of the global concept of Contracts Management. The course I attended with both IACCM and Leoron was a step forward in building an up-to-date knowledge base to help me further in my career. The instructor Mr. Martin was able to convey his knowledge and the other attendees experience to me, using cases that are related to the actual work environment and its requirements. He was a great knowledgeable communicator and mentor. The organization/content of the course, in all meanings, were excellent, customized to the participants needs and to both academic and practical requirements. I would highly recommend this rich experience with Leoron and IACCM to all my connections.
