MCCC feedback

● That was hard definitely. But, if I may say I had a very best Mentor

Assessor: I am going to pub now to celebrate it all !!!

● Thanks for the wonderful support and encouragement - 92% close to

perfect, but enough of a margin that everyone knows I'm human. LOL.

● Thank you. And thank you for your encouragement during my certification

process. ...that is why I am glad it is hard, it gives it "recognised value".

● It feels pretty awesome to have completed the MCCC - I feel that the

approach was great and that exams were also well created.

● It has been a tuff course, fun and sometimes not, but certainly proves it has

extremely high value.

● I just want to say thank you again (thank Martin also) for creating this

certification. It feels good to get recognition for something that has quickly

become a FUN obsession.
