I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continuous support and showing confidence in the team. This would have not been possible without the support and hard work of the team involved in the course. . I really learn a lot from this course and will continue learning from all the resources that your provide us. I assure you that I will keep on working on the M&E plan I developed and try to make it more robust and give it to the facility to use it as they never thought about it before Congratulations to the entire team for the success.

Contents of the course were very update and relevant to current situation in India and Afghanistan, I utilized intensive information regarding STI and HIV/AIDS. The course material helped me how to manage HIV/AIDS projects at the practice and technical levels in a better way. I will share the acquired information with the National AIDS Control Program of Afghanistan and will train health professionals who works in HIV/AIDS program in Afghanistan to enhance their capacities. This was my first time participating in distance learning program and it was excellent experience for me. Over all course structure and management of the program was great. Everything was planned in organized manner.

By learning certificate course in STI&HIV/AIDS through online and intensive training, it aids and helps a lot in my current work. It gives me more public health approach to better understanding of the diseases. Hope that I can use these knowledge and understandings in my further studies or practice in the field of handling STI and HIV. I have to say the course structure, faculties and management of the program is great. It would be more interesting if the live interactive classes had more discussions and interactions. Really enjoyed attending the course.

The course helped us to learn in detail about STDs & HIV at all levels; pathogenesis to epidemiology, surveillance and control. Various interventions for control of STDs & HIV epidemic. Development in various regions on these diseases. The course was excellently managed. The course structure in the distance learning mode was diligently worked up. The faculties were subject experts of the topic covered therefore their dispensation was appreciable. I would like to record my gratitude and wish success in the forthcoming sessions for overall the program management. Only a suggestion; an option for arranging sessions on weekends need to be discussed and sorted out, it is not possible for all the participants to attend the session online on weekends. Thank you very much.

The whole certificate course in STI/HIV helped me to learn and understand various concepts related to HIV like surveillance, high risk groups, bcc, leadership etc. in detail. The course has really enlightened us on the topic of STI AND HIV/AIDS. The course is well structured. I had a great time while reading all the modules. The modules are also well written and structured. The educational content of module is as per the requirement. The faculties were expertise in their field and they helped a lot in understanding the concepts. Overall the course has surely met its objectives.

This course has enhanced my knowledge and skills in dealing with the patients suffering from STI and HIV at promotive preventive, curative and rehabilitative level. This course will be more helpful for me if it get converted into diploma or degree. It has been great experience. Course material is comprehensive and up to the mark. All faculty members are cooperative and ready to solve all queries and management is very cooperative.

I have gained a comprehensive knowledge about sexual & reproductive health, including HIV/AIDS which i can implement in my practise and ongoing HIV/AIDS program running in our state. Modules were quite compact and updated , though initially I could not print the modules as they were locked , later i managed them to print , thanks to my friends here in my organisation who helped me out

This course has helped to know the epidemiology of various STI, about the barriers in implementing the various public health measures, about the core and bridging population in case of HIV and the clinical features, treatment and prevention of various STI. I had a nice learning experience, my knowledge in HIV and STI surely increased, Loved to have another contact session because honestly I felt more comfortable with class teaching. I learned a lot in that 4 days of contact session.my request will be to keep atleast 2 contact session for future trainees.Modules 1-5 were really well prepared and those online live interactive sessions were informative. Thank you

This course has provided an opportunity to learn different aspects of HIV and STDs. Good course structure, good administrative and IT Support. Only suggestion: In the final exam it is best of the two attempts must be accounted and not the later or first attempt. I myself faulted. When I answered first time it was 71% and the second attempt was 60 %, naturally I scored less in totality.

Course was useful and will help me in working in the HIV field more efficiently. Also it helped me in understanding the subject in a different angle or in a broad sense. It was a great learning experience by attending the course.T hanks to all faculties and IT team behind this course. One suggestion - we can include more exams or assignments,if possible after each module. That will force the student to read the module in every week. If possible an alert SMS also can be send along with mails send related to any change in the schedule of class or exam. Sometimes if we were on travel, mails cannot be accessed.
