Course details

“At last! A course that delivers exactly what our company needs. The Advance Business Programme exceeded my expectations in terms of real, concrete deliverables. A hands –on, practical condensed MBA – every busy business person’s dream. I found the interaction between the attendees to be thought provoking, challenging and oftentimes entertaining. The lecturers were superb in that the advice and discussions were based on practicalities and not theories. I have a much clearer vision for the future of our company and, more importantly, I now feel that I have been given the extra tools required to turn that vision into reality.”

Miriam Byrne, City Analysts, Dublin
