"Yes, I would recommend Ticiana's session for the useful advice and guidance provided. I give 5 stars for Ticiana as a trainer, she is clear, direct and has a calm approach." (participant from 22 March 2023)
"I had several personal coaching sessions with Ticiana Tucci, as well as participating in an online Field-Related Interview classroom training session led by Ticiana. I was very impressed by her well-structured content, clear explanations, and deep knowledge of what was required to prepare for the various Assessment Center examinations. Her guidance was clear, to the point, and always relevant. Ticiana was also available to answer follow-up questions and provide additional resources. Thanks to her, I felt very well-prepared. I can strongly recommend Ticiana!"
