    "I would certainly recommend the COB Certified E-Business Manager program. I think it establishes a wide base of competency and understanding across a number of key issues relevant to E-Business and hands E-Business managers the keys to successfully deploy, and manage a successful online business.

    I found the course insightful and very relevant. Presentations were engaging and thought provoking, and the engaging style of content delivery promoted understanding. Above all, I experienced the content as current and in line with times through the use of pertinent real world examples, which is critical in this business sphere.

    The course promotes an understanding of the critical elements of E-Business Strategy and planning, which speaks to my role in the organisation. Further to this, it underlines the importance of E-Risk management and factors to mitigate, which is valuable and applicable to many facets of our business."

    "Overall I found the COB Certified E-Commerce Manager Program to be very useful to me and the two other members of my team who attended with me. We actually completed the course over a number of weeks doing a couple of days at a time. It worked very well and allowed us to balance business requirements with personal development. The act of learning together also helped to bond the team and give us a common set of tools to use in our day to day work. Our trainer, Deborah, had a friendly approachable style that lended itself well to the culture we have here at Three.

    The subjects that were particularly valuable were webpage architecture and metadata writing. This allowed us to apply theory to some working practices we had established on
    gut feel, giving us the tool to sell our work throughout the business and push back effectively on requests that do not deliver a good customer experience or compromise SEO".
