“The CGEIT Bootcamp at the Solvay Business School was an outstanding experience. The faculty promised from the outset that it would be challenging to go through, a lot of hard work and the knowing what mandatory information for passing the exam is.

What they didn’t promise was that it would be full of first hand knowledge from recognised experts above all extremely relevant for participants’ professional life. The Bootcamp builds on your experience, no matter how extensive, and it builds on real cases from your own day-to-day working environment. During the program several interesting discussion added to the learning experience.”
