The course was very rewarding and enabled me to broaden my basic knowledge of VAT. The content was of a high quality and consistent, with some subjects still to be worked on on my own, in conjunction with sustained practical application in my professional environment. The trainer was a good teacher and a good listener. The theory was explained to us in alternation with practical subjects and real-life experiences, which made the training lively.
