This was an insightful course and gave me the opportunity to think about how CQ can work and be implemented in schools. It is an approach that is not being fully utilised and I am grateful for the insights that the course offered as well as the networking opportunities!

Cultural Intelligence is a needed conversation in all sectors. This was a phenomenal event and am excited to step forward and pursue further cultural intelligence in the areas of life my feet step into.

The CQ Certification program was very useful to me individually, as it helped me reflect on my areas of strength and also areas where I need to do a little more work. It was also useful in my work, providing me with new tools to help my team and our clients to be more effective in intercultural situations.
