Reviewed Aug 7, 2024Un curso muy completo e informativo. Perfecto para introducirse en el mundillo del comercio internacional. El curso se imparte en Inglés pero para aquellas personas que les intimide un poco este aspecto les informo de que las transcripciones en Español están muy completas. En definitiva, lo recomiendo.
