But dont just take our word for it… The University in West London Densuah – Saturday BABS I came on this course because I have always had a passion for business but I worked as a shop assistant …as each day passes, I appreciate the knowledge I have gained. I am glad I made the right decision, I now run my own very successful Wedding Dress business and have just expanded to a second shop. Maria – Evening CIM PG Diploma I just quietly got on and studied while I worked. I didnt tell my boss I was doing it in case I failed! When I passed with flying colours I was so proud to tell him. Six months later I got a significant promotion and now manage a team of staff. I dont think he would have looked at me had I not got my professional qualification
