IT Department Head at Kazzinc-Avtomatika, Kazzinc LLP

An ExMBA training program at ASMB fully meets my expectations. As befits a business education, it allows you to arrange the knowledge and collected experience, to learn new management tools, and apply it all to my business activities. Certainly, I am satisfied with quality of education. Although I already have such a degree, I keep finding and discovering something new both in theory and in practice. Regarding teachers, it is a good team of professionals. Moreover, it applies to all teachers from Switzerland, Kazakhstan and Russia. It is very cozy, compact and functional at school. If it was stairs that changed/moved in Hogwarts, in ASMB – walls :)
Dear future students! Do not be afraid to learn! The worst thing is not that you do not know something, but that are you afraid to admit it and do not try to fix it ... Because of your ignorance you can be guided by the mistaken belief creating chaos around yourself. Spend your time right now for quality business education and in the future, you will have more time to spend with your family without "sinking into the routine management"!
