Patrisius Djiwandono

The business development course that I took is very helpful in refining my knowledge and skills for teaching entrepreneurship at my university. The trainer is friendly and enthusiastic.

Brandon Vecchiola

If it wasn't for the system that Lucia at the BD school provided me with, I would not have started as strong as I did on this new career path! Just do the course, you won't regret it!
