I’m a Team Lead in the Operations department at Payscape and I completed this course as part of my professional development. I really enjoyed it, the online format made it easy to fit around work. The sessions were helpful and relevant to my role. I’d recommend it to anyone pursuing leadership and management qualifications.Anna Borland (Leadership & Management)
