Who is the programme suitable for?

At this level, we have had a huge range of seniority levels and job functions on our programme.

Client Testimonial

Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:

The course was great, not death by Powerpoint like other training often is. If you enjoy learning and feeling that you’re growing and developing, this course will be for you. It builds confidence in what can be stressful situations and areas where you lack knowledge around commercial acumen.

Coming from an operational background, being more commercially aware will certainly help me develop and is an integral part of my wider development plan to become a leader with RS.
