This experience was remarkable in many ways. From the outset, I was impressed by the quality of the organisation and the content of the training. The courses were well-structured and interactive, with a balance between theory and practical cases. The trainer, Maxime, made complex concepts accessible while sharing valuable tools […]. I appreciated the personalised support from the team throughout the process. […] I especially gained a better grasp of procurement practices, which will greatly support my future development […]. I highly recommend SETYM International.

SETYM International is a highly credible organisation, known for its seriousness and professionalism. My first participation in the “Procurement: Goods and Consultants” seminar was a truly enriching experience. The programme combined high-quality training, networking opportunities, practical insights and experience sharing. I fully appreciated the rich content and the expertise of the trainers. I would gladly repeat the experience and recommend SETYM to fellow professionals.

I had the opportunity to attend a SETYM training in Montréal focused on strengthening public procurement skills, notably for MSPM accreditation. Despite my prior experience in strategic approaches, project management and compliance, this training transformed my way of working, equipping me with new tools, skills and a mindset that have positively impacted my professional path and project outcomes.

The training organised by SETYM International in France was remarkable in many respects. The well-equipped facilities provided an ideal learning environment, while the relevant course content allowed me to acquire new skills. The trainer, Maître Lewis NSALOU, proved to be a passionate and skilled expert, making the topics easy to grasp through his interactive approach. The practical case studies were particularly appreciated for their real-world application of the concepts. Lastly, the logistical arrangements managed by Mrs Ingrid Martin helped make my stay unforgettable, especially with the guided tour that was offered.

A constant drive for innovation, a focus on performance, the sharpening of skills, placing the trainee at the heart of the learning experience, a refined selection of topics, a strong sense of communication, and targeted technical support — these are the hallmarks of SETYM International.
We experienced this in Paris throughout the training dedicated to Contract Management: Planning and Execution.

“Training is the essence of all success.” SETYM International provides civil servants with the key to success through programmes tailored to their needs. My experience began two months ago, on the recommendation of a colleague, with a session from 1 to 12 June 2024 on public procurement […]. The SETYM team supported me throughout the entire process—from registration to my arrival in Montréal. The welcome was warm, the training high-quality, and the documentation excellent. I highly recommend SETYM to all professionals looking to enhance their skills.

SETYM, as a capacity-building institution, has enabled me to assess and enhance my knowledge and experience in public procurement, in my role as Budget and Control Officer at the PNMLS, where payment documents are processed for approval in order to avoid errors observed in the procedure.

It was also an opportunity to see how other countries or institutions carry out procurement while interpreting regulations and procedures.

We shared pleasant moments during group outings and meals, which only served to strengthen our bonds of friendship.
