Humentum’s self-guided, flexible online trainings provide hands-on learning through engaging videos, assignments, and readings.

It was the best online learning experience ever and honestly feel like we have finished soon. I am thinking of getting back already and planning on taking budget development workshop. The learning that i take from here means a lot to me as i have a particular interest in international development projects and Budget Monitoring is an integral part of managing donor funding. Finally, I liked great spirit shown by facilitators, trainers, and participants. Stay in touch and good luck to all.
