After attending an accounting course, Jennifer and Colette answered all the questions I wanted to know in a meaningful way. I am sincerely grateful for the help.

	I recently attended the Basic Bookkeeping seminar organized by DLDC, and I found it incredibly useful and well-structured. The information was presented clearly, with practical examples that made even complex topics easy to understand. The trainer was knowledgeable and supportive, creating a comfortable learning environment.
As someone running a small business, I now feel more confident in handling my bookkeeping.
Thank you for a great session!

I didn't receive it. When I arrived in Litterkenny (I had to take a taxi from Dunfanaghy to make it on time), it turned out that the courses were in English. My English is weak. I was told that a group of Ukrainians would be recruited and courses would be conducted in Ukrainian. They promised to let me know when the class would start. So no one told me.
