Ross Miller.
I won't lie, it wasn’t easy for me to study—English is my second language, so I often had to translate words to better understand the content. It was challenging, but once I created a routine for myself, I became more organized, and that really helped.
In addition to pharmaceutical topics, we had an intensive Job Hunting module, which will be very useful for finding a job later on.
I highly recommend this course and the GetReskilleld program overall.
