TESTIMONIALS

With 18 years of work experience in private sector logistics, it is never too late to consider alternatives. With this course, in a short but very intense time, as well as getting to know the humanitarian world extensively, I have been able to appreciate all that humanitarian logistics implies from the hand of professionals, seeing this sector as a possible professional alternative.

Ana Jerez, Humanitarian Logistics Specialist 2021

Through the Humanitarian Logistics course, I was able to opt for a 3-month internship with Action Against Hunger in the Lebanon mission, putting into practice the knowledge acquired during the course. The experience was really useful to start getting into humanitarian logistics and to continue developing my career in the NGO field.

Carlos Perea-Milla. Specialist in Humanitarian Logistics 2021.

Interested in cooperation and having spent years volunteering for different NGOs, I wanted to deepen my technical knowledge of the sector. This course, and my initial experience in the sector, helped me to specialise and get my first humanitarian mission in Iraq. Later in Syria, Occupied Palestinian Territory and now in Lebanon where I have been, for the last year and a half, logistics coordinator managing a volume of 15M€, 4 bases and a logistics team of more than 80 people.
