“Based in the UAE I have a very busy job in Sales & Marketing with travel in Middle East, Asia & Africa and with a family it can be difficult to make time for any studying. The IoSCM course gives me the option to study anytime or location and also the chance to study at my own pace. I am currently working my way through the first part of my course but have found all the info online very informative and all my questions/problems have been answered very promptly.

I would recommend the IoSCM courses to anyone who has a busy lifestyle and wants to have a good industry recognised qualification at the end of the course.”
