REVIEWS
I attended my first LACPN last year, in 2022, and I was impressed with the quality and organization of the event. Structured so that we can exchange experiences and learn in a dynamic and light way, I look forward to the next modules.

I was very satisfied with the course LACPN Fortaleza, 2022, as it helped me a lot to do my job better and enriched my knowledge. The exchange of experiences with other colleagues and having answers to the main doubts was very important. I thought the whole context, accommodation, classes, proximity to the Faculty and interaction between everyone was very good.
