Thank you Humentum for such an online workshop, which our team expected to attend for a long time. It was a wonderful experience to learn and know the universal trend in the financial management of NPOs. One of the important things I gained is it enhanced my capacity to use the skill to train the people working in the same field. After the workshop, I got a chance to facilitate one of the sessions in larger communities.

Completing the Finance DPro course was an important milestone in my professional journey. The intensive and practical content strengthened my understanding of financial management in the development sector. Although I am not a finance specialist, the course empowered me to contribute more effectively to managing financial resources. As a Projects Manager, it helped me better link budgets with field implementation, ensure proper documentation, and maintain balanced spending aligned with activities. Most importantly, this course will remain a practical reference for me not just a training I completed, but knowledge I will continue to rely on in my work.

Having only had corporate business experience and a science qualification, I had had little exposure to financial management.. After founding and leading a nonprofit I found that there was a significant gap in my financial background. And so began my search for a reputable course that I could fit into my busy schedule and apply immediately to the running of our organisation. The professional manner in which the course was delivered as well as the templates available for our use meant that I could apply, to our organisation, each element of the course as it was delivered. The content was practical, clear and easy to understand for a non-financial person. The support offered by Humentum and contact with others on the course offered an interactive online experience. The timing of the exam meant that I could take it when I was ready.
