I thoroughly enjoyed the course and have fallen back in love with compliance again! I was able to debate and discuss risk and compliance topics with SMEs from countries such as Russia, Sri-Lanka and Japan from a variety of sectors including banking, gambling, food and government agencies. Where else can you get such rich diversity of thought, background, ethnicity and approach. I loved it and plan to stay in close contact with a large number of my cohort as we formed some great relationships. The course leader clearly has a passion to want to help people, and was always there for guidance and support. The specialist external tutors were also thoroughly engaging and motivating – big highlight of the course.
Completing the ICA Professional Postgraduate Diploma in GRC was a rewarding experience. The program provided a comprehensive understanding of governance, risk management, and compliance. Engaging tutorials allowed us to interact with fellow professionals, fostering valuable connections. Learning from industry experts actively shaping the field was truly inspiring.
