"I have taken several courses offered by the soybean innovation lab.
These are helpful courses which really provide the required information for use in real time. The Soybean Innovation lab is my rescue team for the reason that whenever I take a course, I find something that I just need to learn.
I love its support to all who need it, especially because the courses are also free.
I have always shared the links with my friends and work mates so that they can also benefit from this valuable information."

"From my college times I used to do data collection for various projects and I was more comfortable doing qualitative data collection which involved focus groups. After taking my free course (Conducting Focus Groups in Village Settings), I have now fully appreciated what I used to do as I never had an opportunity to develop my own discussion guide. Now I can easily do it. Thank you to SIL.Keep on imparting such important knowledge in many."
Malambo Bwale Choobe  
"This course (Integrated Pest Management and Pesticide Safety) is essential for those who need to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Integrated Pest Management."

"The
IPM course has really changed my life. It has made me a recognized person in my community. My former colleagues come to me for advice on integrated pest management on cashew and shea. I know this will also enhance my CV.
I am very grateful to the course instructors.”
