What Our Certified Professionals Say
"Certification program gave me critical data and general acquaintance with the concept's foundational pillars, such as slowing (use longer), narrowing (use less), and closing loops (use again). It needs to be an integral and essential element of any school curriculum and corporate upscaling programmes. It has reinforced me both personally and professionally. I will utilize various course concepts, from circular design to business models, in my new corporates or own start-ups. Importantly, it can open new job prospects in the sustainability domain."
Ayrat Gilmutdinov
VP, Strategy & Business Development
"The learning journey with the CEA was well thought out and professional. The support is great, and the people are very positive, open-minded and highly educated. What I liked most was the fact that the CE Alliance was always up to date with the current scientific knowledge in the CE, even though it is a very fast-moving space with a lot of changes. It is my opinion that they managed to understand the scale of transitions in the different sectors of the global economy."
Raphael Schranz
Circular Economy Consultant
"I would like to admit that the learning journey with CEA was gripping, giving me all skills to move from theory to practice. Materials are very thorough with most updated detailed examples. Covers all areas of circular economy with breadth and depth. I particularly liked the way the presentations were organized, and the simplicity used in providing information. Sustainability and SDGs demand every day more skilled specialists. Being certified for your knowledge in the circular economy is an added value to my academic education."
