Students’ textimonials

The course has allowed me to be more aware, if possible, of the universality of road safety. That we all take part and that we all can help to avoid victims of traffic accidents, and that road safety is present throughout our lives: in our environment, modes of mobility, in our behavior ... I would highlight professionalism and worth of teachers, organizers and colleagues. The exchange of experiences, impressions and opinions coming from such different sectors but with a common cause, have been the issues that I value most in this course, as well as have the opportunity to meet and learn from colleagues that I presently consider friends with a great involvement and commitment. Thank you very much CIFAL Madrid RACE, European University and UN for making it possible.

Thanks to the incalculable experience accredited during the postgraduate course in Management and Direction in Road Safety by CIFAL for the UN. Personally, I have grown exponentially in terms of knowledge, but we have also create a great group of experts in the field of road safety, thanks to which we can help each other, and contrast information across the oceans, expanding our cultural diversity in order to obtain a broader and differentiated approach. It is not only knowledge, nor experience, but also the group formed after the intense experience that we have consecrated for the rest of our lives.
