"The main quality of DPC is the high quality of the experts, the very interesting case studies, and, most of all, the presence of a moderator who is a pure producer. He has been able to "translate" a lot of technical stuff into a more production-like language (how does it affect the budget? how does it affect the schedule? etc.). I really appreciated this formula."

"I felt very lucky to be a part of this group and to tap into the immense knowledge our teachers obviously possess. They were extremely prepared and approachable throughout."

"One of the best things is that all the tutors were willing to consult everybody not only during the seminar, but also afterwards, no matter when and where - in the elevator, smoking place or near the dinner table."
