Delegate Development Outcomes

Delegates work in discussion with their syndicate to consider a wide range of practical issues and offer solutions in a problem-based-learning workshop. Feedback and analysis informs whole group learning of real-life scenarios. A lively interactive learning environment ensures delegates share and learn best-practice in a vibrant industry which continues to evolve and requires new solutions to risk mitigation.

Prior experience of interpreting basic financial information is a pre-requisite as delegates will enhance these skills during the course.

Learned a lot! Looking forward to putting it all into practice.
