CPDM course curriculum has been outstanding. As an HR professional, I found the office hours and weekly discussions extremely helpful. Not often do you find a group of like-minded professionals, learning and openly sharing their IDAM experiences. Having this hour together weekly has helped me not but also be aware of trends and best practices
