We are so thankful for our time at CIT, it was the practical completion we both needed for our missions degrees. We learned so much about ourselves and the Gospel and I feel like we arrived on the field with realistic expectations.–Mel, Cross-Cultural Worker, Ukraine
Having been through other training conducted by large international companies, I found the CIT training to be well-structured, taught well by experts in their topics, and peppered with great simulations and exercises. CIT left me wanting more, instead of thinking it was a waste of any of my time, which I have felt about other training in the past. I can’t imagine going to the field without it. All 3 couples on our field will have gone through it.—L.M.—Saipan
This course totally changed my ideas about language learning. I feel equipped to develop my own language program. Now that I know and understand my learning style and have language acquisition tools, I believe I will be successful in both language learning and understanding my new culture. –J.H., Cross-Cultural Worker
I appreciated the vulnerability of the facilitators. They all had things to say that were incredibly beneficial, eye-opening, and encouraging. I feel prepared for language learning. Before this course, I was utterly terrified! I know it will be hard, but I’ve been given valuable tools to use and now know that much of the process can be fun.–Julie, Cross-Cultural Worker, Central America
