I engaged Governance Gurus to provide professional tuition for the Advanced Corporate Governance certificate … I must say the level of student support was outstanding given I was studying by distance learning from Mauritius and through an intensive five day face to face tuition and revision crash course provided in Dubai.

Rob Ford was the lead tutor and highlighted key areas and up to date corporate governance topics which come up in the exam. We also spent time going through exam papers, model answers and exam techniques which helped focus me on achieving a pass and I am now pleased to be a Graduate Chartered Governance Professional of CGI UK. Thank you Rob and the Governance Gurus team for providing excellent tuition, materials and support. – Mr. Reaz Noormamode of Target Solutions Ltd – Mauritius
