“Global Competence Certificate course helps to develop the essential global life skills. It is more than just a certificate course. It teaches the skills which one can reinforce in all the life aspects. It gives some useful tools to suspend judgment, manage emotions, teach resilience, manage people etc.

Not just this it helps to navigate one's own culture as well as other cultures. As a result of this, one becomes more acceptable in life and can live in diverse settings.

Educators have to deal with the diverse group of children in the class and as an educator, for example, I apply the understanding of learning styles, global competency skills from the GCC course in my classroom to deal with children. I feel that my students are well behaved, mature, excel in academics and are always in the learning zone I highly recommend this program!

Upskill yourself and transfer the skills in your surroundings to make this world a better and beautiful place to live in.”
