testimonials
What I appreciate most about GLOBIS Manila’s Pre-MBA class is its emphasis on active student participation, in contrast to the traditional lecture format I was accustomed to. Interacting with fellow students from diverse backgrounds and industries has given me a more holistic perspective on the materials covered, enhancing the overall learning experience. Additionally, the biweekly class schedule allows me ample time to absorb new concepts while balancing my full-time work commitments.

The professor was exceptionally patient and dedicated, guiding us through the core principles and steps with clarity and depth. This class not only enhanced my critical thinking skills but also gave me valuable insights that I can apply in both my professional and personal life.
