Nigerians yearning for professional
exposure in marketing and tourism industry now have an opportunity of
actualising their dreams in the country, an education-consulting group,
Market Space, has said.
Its Director of Studies, Mr. George Thorpe, made this known at a briefing in Lagos.
According to him, the group has
concluded plans to commence part-time diploma programmes in Marketing
Management as well as Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management for
Nigerian business executives.
Already, the firm, he said, had received
accreditation from a recognised regulatory body in the United Kingdom,
ABE UK, to run the programmes.
Thorpe, who said the Lagos training
centre of the company would be in use for the programmes, noted that
Nigerian business executives needed empowerment and international
exposure.
He said, “I am committed to mobilising a
best-of-breed faculty and other local resources to take advantage of
the robust ABE UK Diploma syllabuses and content in meeting the learning
aspirations of management executives and their corporate sponsors.”
Urging Nigerian business executives to
key into the programmes, Thorpe noted that the faculty would employ both
the web-based and traditional teaching methods.
He explained that the beneficiaries
would receive quality tutorials on how to grow their businesses
creatively, especially in these challenging times.
He added, “The decision to reposition
Market Space from short duration marketing and management courses to
higher grade executive education in marketing management and related
disciplines is timely. Nigeria, the largest, most dynamic and
competitive market in Africa, is projected to show unprecedented growth
and development in the coming years; employees need new capabilities
that only international quality professional qualification can certify.”
