To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Really enjoy programme with MBKB - Tutor is extremely passionate and engages you in meaningful discussion on topics, which is personally the best way I learn. All lessons have a clear application for business, and work around your current workload
Skills Development

4/5
Yes - project management is one of main skills needed, training and apprenticeship have developed this. Communication, managing stakeholders, time management

How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very - would like to have been provided a list of topics when enrolling so ensure lessons can be planned around current and upcoming projects. Otherwise 10/10
