More capacity building on courses of this nature will go a long way in helping majorly the service providers to offer quality and appropriate service to the survivors of Gender based violence.

Excellent presentation with good case studies from both developed and developing countries. The forum discussion enabled me to learn from others. The reading resources were also excellent

This course was very informative but honestly, it wasn't well done. We never see people/interviews, only primitive powerpoint. Most of what was said was written on the slides, so while it's good for references later, it doesn't stick with you if you weren't actively working in the field. Needless to say, it was very helpful and will get back to it in the future.

This course offers relevant knowledge and is accessible to people with no previous training in the specific area of GBV in the health-care environment.

Extensive bibliography recommended, very useful!

A combination of videos and direct speeches with the slides, would make it more attractive!

I liked this course, but sometimes the presentations was boring because show only letters and no images or graphics. But in general I liked very much the content. I think, that this course is very interesting and proffesional. I learned many new frames about GBV.

I enjoyed the course very much. Most informative. Found best practice sharing helpful. Only thing I did not enjoy was getting locked out of my tests & assignments. Thank you very much.

Excellent course, speaks not only to health professional looking to investigate introductory concepts related to GBV and VAW, but for policy professionals as well

Good information, but since it was recorded in 2015, it should be updated

This course is very focused on clinical health care responses to survivors of GBV for health care practitioners. The first week gives a very nice overview of the topic from a global perspective, including the causes of GBV. The next two weeks are then very focused on front-line health care workers, particularly in a clinic setting. I felt overall that I would have liked more discussion on health care policy, and community-based responses to preventing GBV (and the role of the health sector). I also felt that the video/audio quality was sometimes very low in some videos, and in general the course could benefit from being updated/refreshed as it is over 5 years old now.

I am not satisfied about the course because upon completion I was not able to download my certificate, because it was saying purchase certificate though my financial aid was approved

Good topic but, material with bad quality and no very engaging. Peer asigments in a not so popular course only makes it worse (can make you lose your economic help for waiting to much). Debate forums do not serve for anything. In a nutshell, nice attempt, but just an attempt.
