Silvia should liaise with any department at university training teachers and train trainees how to Manage a department, Be an efficient HoD. Her CPD was what I needed, and at the right time. I feel more confident now on my position. Plus, Silvia is always at a mail away, anytime I need support. Merci Beaucoup Silvia :) Fatou Le Moine on LinkedIn
