Not only has the course exceeded my expectations, it has given me a new and exciting career and empowered me to assist the charity in developing a greater understanding and focus for a sustainable future.
Graham Hall, The Lantern Community

The course is unique in that all the content is directly relevant to charities and the not for profit sector. It provides a framework which is absolutely essential for all charity sector finance workers to efficiently and effectively carry out their duties.

I don't believe any other course covers this rapidly expanding area so comprehensively and in such detail. The content is extremely interesting, the lecturing is informative, entertaining and well organised.

The coursework elements are directly applicable to your place of work. In my case I devised a new investment strategy and revised the reserves policy.
