Testimonials

"By having the middle Road platform to discuss our Theory of Change certification course, I was able to reach an entirely new audience. Our feedback has been excellent and I can re-use the link in all my social media. I was given the opportunity to fully explain the course and to have a reach far beyond our own website and mailing list. The middle Road is a great service to anyone in the social change field for sharing and dissemination. "

Dr. Heléne Clark, PhD Director, ActKnowledge

The course was quite helpful in building an understanding of the development impact bonds and included well-researched materials and excellent resources. It could be made more engaging and personal by incorporating videos or visuals of the presenter. This addition would enhance the overall learning experience, as it felt somewhat akin to a podcast without such visual elements. However, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the cost-effectiveness of the course. I understand that affordability is a crucial factor, and this may influence the presentation. Despite my suggestion for improvement, I believe the course offers excellent value for its cost. Thank you for providing an opportunity to learn at an affordable price, and I look forward to any future course that may come on The middle Road website.

If one wants to know the current developments in sustainable development, finance and economics I would vouch for themiddleroad.org. The courses offered are also applicable and in-depth either for a beginner or even a professional."

It is very useful for students, graduates, researchers, and also people who love to learn in depth from words to numerical, to clear their basics and also know the topic holistically. Would love to go through more courses and learn something I can use in my field of work."
