organizations.

LIBA is as much about unlearning as learning. Inertia, ego, indifference and complacency all get
destroyed in this course. There is much more you achieve when studying through LIBA than just a
certificate. LIBA has made me finally realize what I want to achieve with my career. I highly
recommend this course. I would like to thank everyone in LIBA, who helped me so much and I lack
words to thank everyone there.
