Graduate Success Stories
“I found the support processes were excellent and thorough, with constant reminders and prompting. The area of the course that had the most significant impact on my life was the relevance of my everyday business operations. I was sometimes affirmed in what I already knew, and sometimes given new ways to achieve goals. I found the personal development aspect of the training gave me a much better understanding of how to reach my goals, as well as human resources and developing new skills in the recruitment process. I have already recommended your training. I found it thorough and worthwhile. It really makes you think and apply your knowledge to your own situation.”
Glenn Raine
“The support from Global was very helpful and consistent. The module on setting personal work priorities and professional development definitely helped understand the importance of personal growth and how it is both beneficial to my work and personal life. The information on Contracts Management and Administration helped me apply these skills to my workplace immediately and has assisted me in managing my current and setting up new Contracts. Completing my course has helped me secure work in the area I wanted to move into and helped me professionally. I would definitely recommend others to undertake the program.”
