The course was very well organized with appropriate mix of participants from various backgrounds. I have gained many insightful learnings which I’m confident of applying them at work.

It was a very relevant programme. The content was very applicable and the Professors delivered the material very well despite being handicapped by the fact that the students were not physically in front of them. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get a good grip on accounting and finance.

Very useful programme for non-financial personnel. Programme is suitable for anyone who wants to equip with finance and accounting language, better understanding in personal investment and corporate environment. They make an effort to deliver a good and thoughtful service despite only online programme is allowed during COVID-19 period. Overall, it’s a good and useful programme. Thanks to NUS Business School Executive Education and the team!!
