The course, as a whole, provides an insight on current economy, market situation including financial understanding so much so beyond what is expected. A good refresher and update for those who are complacent to admit that continuing learning is a must!

I am very satisfied with the breadth and depth of the course. It has done 2 things for me, it provided guidance using current managerial practices and, during the last sessions, direction on how to become a noble leader. Though I have attended several leadership classes and have gone through several leadership books, I lacked the skills aspect. Which, I believe, is equally important with that of intent. This short "fast food" course gave me enough of those skills to be a better leader/manager.

The theories and tools behind MBA are vast. To master them, one has to first understand the very basic rationale behind the theories and tools and the key I believe is how to effectively bring them across the students. In CBA, the magic is in the pool of its resource speakers (experts) who are uniquely blessed with knowledge, skills and experience. And in the end, you feel equipped and empowered & equally grateful that you made a good decision in yourself in into the program.

I feel that over the duration of the CBA course I gained a lot of knowledge and practical strategies that will be beneficial to me, and those I deal with personally and professionally. The course exceeded my expectations significantly. This has increased my credibility and value in the job market, which has opened many doors of opportunity for me. The modules will also equip me with the knowledge to advance through various organizations within the company or any corporation. Individually the modules are valuable, but combined they offer a global perspective for educated decision-making within an organization. It has been a truly invaluable learning experience for me. Thank you very much.

The program was satisfying. The lessons learned will be very helpful especially for those without business background. The course content is relevant to our needs as professionals in work or business. This program will also serve as a good introduction for those taking a full-fledge MBA.

In today’s intensely and competitive business environment, it is essential for individuals who want to progress in their career to continue to learn. College degrees no longer signify the full measure of knowledge in today’s rapidly evolving workplace, thus, it is important to invest in one’s education through certification or post graduate degrees. The CBA does not only help you get the “edge” when being considered for a job, it is also useful when you want to take up further studies abroad. The program is also effective in providing the participants with the necessary managerial skills in managing the organization. I highly recommend the CBA program to individuals who want to take their career to the next level.

I was first intimidated to be in a class with department heads, business and corporate executives, presidents and entrepreneurs. However, as the class progresses, I became at ease and realized that the program would help me a lot to fulfill my aspiration of being one of them. CBA gave me a clear overview of what a corporate atmosphere is all about. From HR to Marketing, with a bit of spice in IT, Economics & Management, & best of all my favorite, Accounting, it is a complete package that no one should ever miss. It excites me to pursue my formal MBA Course. I think I will not be left behind this time after having this short but “juicy” course. Thanks to the respectable speakers & accommodating organizers.

Despite the shortness of the course, it was concise and relevant, not just to the corporate setting but to entrepreneurs with start-up businesses as well. For very busy people like us who don't have the time to get the full program, this is a good avenue to get insights on business functions that are applicable to our respective careers. We got to understand the other aspects of leadership and management, and also get an indication of the latest business trends. Learning's didn't just come from distinguished speakers nor from the syllabus, but also from the rich and diverse experiences of the class as well. Kudos to the CBA team!

CBA is one of the most recommended refresher programs dedicated to managers, supervisors and especially to those aspiring executives in the near future. CBA is even proven useful to businessmen who want to learn strategic methods in all aspects of their business. Being a master’s degree student myself, I expected the program to teach me nothing more than the basics due to the allotted short period of time. Surprisingly, it also taught me to give focus and importance to various sections of the company in order to see their purpose and gain a better perspective of the business. By doing so, I developed an innate knowledge of formulating tactical solutions through a holistic approach. Indeed I’m incredibly grateful to CBA. It has given me an exceptional and advantageous learning that is very valuable to this highly competitive world of corporate leadership.

The bottom-line for me is that the program was very substantial and a great help in ones career advancement.

Enrolling in CBA was never a mistake for me. I learned new approaches in Marketing, Finance, HR and IT which I could implement in our family business and my corporate work. The learnings did not just come from the expert teachers but also from diverse experiences of my classmates. After this program, I am more confident in giving opinions and implementing what I believe would make our company the best. It was definitely worth every penny!

I felt that I've reached a plateau in my job and I needed to re-energize. This is when I searched for a management course that is not too short nor too long. After a brief research, I came across the CBA Program. I knew it was the perfect answer to my thirst for a management refresher. After completing the course, I'm 100% refreshed, up and going!

The CBA program was just an opportunity I cannot ignore. The set-up is perfect for working professionals who are not able to commit to a full MBA load, but are more than interested to learn about the fundamentals of management. The seminars are often a unique mélange of professors and insightful sessions that do not just offer theoretical but also experiential points. You not only gain knowledge but friends too that make the learning process all the more meaningful.

Coming from a non-business background, the CBA programme helped me understand the intricacies of the business world. It taught me to understand the different aspects of managing a business organization and apply it in the real world.

Overall, I could say that it was all worth it and it will definitely give me an advantage in the process of upgrading my career.

The CBA Program was short but it was a concise. It gave me an understanding of some of the essential principles and tools of an effective Business Administration. I was able to acquire these mainly from the speakers and from my classmates as well. In the age of information, where advances come about quickly, the program keeps updated with the use of the internet (i.e. HR Case Studies) & some cool videos showing the latest trends (i.e. MIS), thereby augmenting our learning and comprehension of the lessons. I highly recommend this program to other leaders in our organization.
