As a Student in PSM Biotechnology Concentration in Quality Assurance, I gained both skills and knowledge, confidence to work in industry that was completely new to me. The instructors are understanding and highly skilled. It is a complete well-programmed course that will automatically give you the leadership quality and ability to survive and find you the passion for working in the industry. I registered for this course with no industry experience, the system helped me to secure an industry position before even completing the course. I thank the supportive instructors who all have mentored me and given me the path to success.
