But don’t just take our word for it…
Densuah – Saturday BABS
“I came on this course because I have always had a passion for
business but I worked as a shop assistant …as each day passes,
I appreciate the knowledge I have gained.
I am glad I made the right decision, I now run my own very
successful Wedding Dress business and have just expanded to a
second shop.”
Maria – Evening CIM PG Diploma
“I just quietly got on and studied while I worked. I didn’t
tell my boss I was doing it in case I failed! When I passed
with flying colours I was so proud to tell him. Six months
later I got a significant promotion and now manage a
team of staff. I don’t think he would have looked at me
had I not got my professional qualification”
