I took the Global Certificate in Dam Safety (Advanced) course to enhance my skills in dam safety management. The course was really helpful in achieving my learning goals, especially in terms of understanding the latest technologies and techniques used in dam safety. I gained practical knowledge on how to conduct risk assessments and develop emergency response plans, which I can now apply in my role as a dam safety engineer. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and the instructors were experienced professionals in the field. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies from the Middle East region, but overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others.
