“The programme was well organised. The teaching quality was high, focussing on various key facets of leadership and elements of running/managing a business. There was a healthy dose of realism, with much of the course based on genuine business situations and environments, rather than a purely academic focus.” Alex Pease, CEO, Watkins Group
