“ I began my working relationship with Mirqah in 2017, when I was handling the Leadership development in Vodafone. In an effort to build a platform for our people managers, I scanned the market and met with over 15 vendors to work with me on development journeys. Mirqah stood out on so many levels. Their curriculums are based upon research, with science to back up what they are saying. Mirqah is by far the best training partner, I totally recommend them. Mirqah tailored to all our needs in order to create an amazing leadership development journey for Vodafone. Before the launch, I was a bit hesitant regarding our attendance rate, but the classes delivered by Mirqah were always overbooked. Feedback was incredible in all aspects; the delivery, the content and the reading materials. Since 2017, Mirqah is our trusted training provider for all our development journeys each year. ”
