Honestly, understanding the procurement cycle was exactly what I was looking for. Learning about it in the context of an EPC company helped me meet the standards of large corporate organizations. And who knows, experience in an EPC company can certainly open doors to working with manufacturers and smaller production firms as well.
Many thanks to the experienced instructor and ArtEngine for this excellent course, highly recommended!
