“The topic outlines were helpful for the learners in knowing the objectives of the course/ lesson. Time in general was strictly observed, and the amount of time given to each topic were enough. Materials were coordinated and provided accordingly. Overall, it was a great experience being on a training facilitated by the PSRTI.”

“The experience of the former NEDA official (as the designated Resource Person) in making the policy brief as complete as possible is admirable. We learned so much from his vast examples and inputs in our group session. The statistics part is made simple and understandable by the assigned professor and Resource Person from UP Instat. Thank you
PSRTI for the well-coordinated and balanced selection of topics.”
Daisy, University of Southeastern Philippines
