Temba Tseriwa
I am very impressed and encouraged by the teachers of the course, who are very busy and willing to motivate me, as they use
different modes of communication to help me in my learning, especially in an online environment. This is my first online experience, and I'm enjoying it. What I appreciate the most are the online classes and the quizzes and activities at the end of each chapter that made me think and search for the answers, which allowed me to learn more. I also like the flexibility and the course materials, especially the lecture slides.

I am impressed by the amount of knowledge applied in the programme in a very concise way. There are many ways to develop my
skills and knowledge. Especially the webinars given by Prof. Alarcón are what I am hooked on. They are very logical, concise, and helpful in organising the learning process. CEMP allows me to develop my skills to the fullest.

I have really enjoyed the course so far - there are good lecturers and well-presented slides. The last few weeks have been more challenging trying to keep up with the workload in between work as well.
Mylene Lim
I chose CEMP as I have heard good reviews about the centre, plus I like how they have tutors who check in regularly with
your progress. I hope after this master’s that I can understand skin science and cosmetic care product labelling better, and maybe be able to formulate my own range of products one day.
