Student Profile
Patti Thompson - “The entrepreneurship course was extremely well delivered and one of the smartest decisions I have ever made with regard to participating in a memorable learning experience. The quality of the lectures in all three modules was superb, and indicates that a lot of thought has gone into the structure of the programme. The wide mix of experience and backgrounds of the students enabled a significant amount of class participation and discussion which greatly added to the programme. The course increased my business insight and skills, along with the variety of tools provided will enable me to become a smarter entrepreneur. Overall, it was very rewarding, and I would strongly recommend to anyone interested in enhancing their entrepreneurship skills and knowledge.
