                                   Testimonials

Each session of the Scientific Writing course was thoughtfully designed, and the content was comprehensive. All trainers were experts in their respective domains and answered all queries satisfactorily. They also provided useful pre-reading/further reading materials. Attempting the assignments gave me a clear picture of the topics that I grasped well and the ones I needed to pay more attention to, so these were tactfully created. The best part was learning about the search tools on PubMed and getting hands-on experience with using EndNote. Besides, the LMS is user-friendly. Overall, learning from the industry experts at Turacoz was a knowledge-enriching experience. My heartfelt thanks to team Turacoz!

I liked the course because it was an entirely new area of scientific publications for me. I have always written publications focused on pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. Here, I learned about the other publications with special emphasis on reporting clinical trials. Some concepts were new to me, and the trainers simplified them. Overall, the course was well-structured and informative. Looking forward to some more interesting courses in the future!

I have attended 2 certificate courses in Turacoz. Overall, I must say that both the courses are exceptionally planned. The trainers are true professionals. I would strongly recommend the course to professionals/ students who want to make a niche in the field.

As an organization, channelizing employees along with self to train students is a challenge but Turacoz has made it possible. All the trainers and coordinators have been very helpful throughout the course. The publication writing course by Turacoz was very informative. The assignments and quizzes made it more enjoyable. When and how these 3 months flew by wasn’t noticed. Hope to be in touch in the future too. Will recommend Turacoz to aspiring medical writing candidates. No other organization devotes so much time to upgrading others.

Turacoz’s training team is very approachable. I appreciate everybody’s patience while handling my queries. The course was comprehensive covering all the important aspects of Medical writing. Despite being an online course, I felt a good rapport with the trainers and enjoyed the course. I am starting as a fresher in this field, and the course introduced me to Publication writing. We were given a range of assignments to practice. The feedback helped identify the areas needing improvement. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to start a career in Publication writing. The live project training was great; it provided exposure to coordinating with clients, understanding project scope, project process, and completion to meet deadlines which is of utmost importance in the field.
