Testimonials
During my training in infrastructure maintenance, I led a project to optimize the climate control system of an office building. I implemented a new automated control system that reduced energy consumption by 15% and maintenance costs by 10%, exceeding the project’s initial expectations.
During the Port and Marina Management course, I applied the knowledge I gained about optimizing port logistics to my work. I redesigned the container flow, which resulted in a 15% reduction in vessel waiting times and an 8% increase in cargo handling capacity. This achievement was recognized by management and significantly contributed to improving the port’s efficiency.
