Testimonials

‘I definitely think I wouldn't have passed my exam if I didn't do the virtual workshops. I
work full time while studying and if I was studying by myself, I would be much less
motivated. It was a massive benefit to join the course to meet other people in the
industry, I can talk to and connect to. It's great to know what the private sector are doing,
what the public sector are doing. I had Rob as my instructor, and he was brilliant - I really
enjoyed his class. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to do the course.’

- Procurement Specialist at IBM Global Procurement

‘I'm much more confident going through the ‘I’d like to take the opportunity to
material in AG’s online portal. I especially like thank AcademyGlobal for your
the quizzes to reinforce learnings throughout support throughout – it’s greatly
the module’ appreciated’
