I really liked how comprehensive the training was and how it captured all of the major and most important regulatory aspects of telecommunications regulation. I particularly liked the parts on market competition and competition policies regarding significant market power and how we would treat new market entrants into the course.

“I do think it’s very important and it gives a great oversight of telecommunications regulation and it would be very very helpful in moving forward when we look at legal issues and the impact of imaging technologies and on our sector moving forward.

I chose to attend this course because I wanted to learn more about the digital economy, satellites as well as learning other areas outside of my economics department background. The best thing about this program is learning of the best practices across all the attendees from various countries in the emerging market sector.

Also the further discussions and breakout sessions in between the sessions as well as the breakout session exercise where we use the principles and tools that we learn throughout the course to apply in a real case study.

This is the second TRMC course that I’ve undertaken and what I like best about it is the course content, the course discussions and also the whole set up.

We’re able to participate, have open discussions one-on-one with the facilitators and fellow participants and it gives us the opportunity to discuss issues that we might have in our various regions and countries. 

What I like most about the course is not just the structure, but the facilitators and the relevant content.

Having done it twice, I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone because we get up-to-date data that we’re able to share and I always leave more informed than when I arrive.

It brought about different stakeholders that would have to play a major role in implementing what we’ve learned around spectrum management and then also understanding that spectrum management is not just one ministry or one department responsibility, we all have a role to play being a last-mile user.

It was really good to understand that there are things that I could also influence that could make it into the auction rules that would in the long run help the sort of initiatives and projects that we do in Africa.

A really insightful informative and interactive set of sessions, led by experts in the industry!

Excellent expert-led sessions that offered valuable insights into the technical, economic, and policy dimensions of key regulatory areas such as spectrum management, licensing, interconnection, and numbering, and how these elements shape market dynamics.

The course also provided a great platform to engage with industry peers, including regulators and operators, fostering meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange.

I had an awesome learning experience. TRMC is one of the best programmes for regulators, an eye opener on how to handle emerging issues in the sector as well as spectrum and competition challenges. The learning environment in Bath is one of the best, the rich historical landscape and after class sessions made may stay memorable. Thanks to the many experts who delivered high quality training.

The presentions in a fashion that made it understandable, even when the subject was complicated.
