I am an accountant by education, but working in a construction company led me to consider a career change to a tender specialist. I needed to find accessible and informative courses for self-study, as this field was completely new to me, and I only had a general understanding of it with significant gaps. I chose the course "Participation in state, corporate, and regulated procurement under 44-FZ and 223-FZ. Professional retraining, 256 academic hours." Why did I choose Kontur? I perceive information visually, so the interface, presentations, and diagrams were important to me, and all of this was provided. The learning experience turned out to be comfortable and enriching. The mobile app also left a positive impression. Since I was balancing work and study, the ability to use every free minute for learning was critically important to me. Thanks to the mobile app, I could take tests on the material I had studied even on my way to work, sitting on the bus. I was satisfied with the quality of the training: extensive manuals, video lessons, tests to reinforce knowledge, templates, and a workbook. If I had questions, I received feedback. Thanks to this course, I was able to independently master 60% of the information. Why did I give it a 4 instead of a 5? There is always room for improvement, and I have a few comments and suggestions: I would like the ability to download presentations from the video lessons, as in some cases the material from the presentation was not included in the manual but turned out to be important; it would be better if the manual followed the chronology of the video lessons — some topics were out of order, which complicated the search; I would like to see video lessons on working on several electronic platforms with real examples; the first lesson could be an introduction to explain what a tender specialist's profession is, what their responsibilities are, the necessary skills, and how it differs from the work of a tender expert; I lacked information on obtaining an electronic signature. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied with the course and will gladly pursue further training here!
