The Certificate in Intellectual Property Crime and Illicit Trade (CIPCIT) course was very well delivered and insightful, with everything explained well, and no question too ‘stupid’ to ask.
The seminars were the most enjoyable as I got to speak with people from all over the world with different ideas and experience.
The Keith Williams’ Scholarship allowed me to access to the learning as financially I would have not been able to do this otherwise.
The information and the qualification have proven the most valuable since I have now become the Intellectual Property and Illicit Trade Lead in my current work.
Overall, I’m very happy with how it has gone.
The Certificate in Intellectual Property Crime and Illicit Trade is a very rich programme as it exposed me to different modules relating to intellectual property, illicit trade, and study skills, which I say has improved my daily work experience.
I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to have a career in illicit markets or intellectual property.
I would like to thank INTERPOL, IIPCIC, UL Standards and Engagement, and the University of Portsmouth for the opportunity.
I will use this knowledge to help my colleagues both in INTERPOL and my home country.
