Comments received from previous Diploma students

"Having subscribed to the IOM Diploma course, I found that I was not only able to gain a conceptual understanding but also apply new ideas and techniques to my own work situation.  The course offered me a superbly balanced mix of academic learning and practical application which gave me the confidence to make positive changes at work.

 

The intimate weekly classes provided both a forum for delegates to share ideas and a workshop in which to develop solutions to real-life operational issues.

 

As a direct result of the IOM diploma and Tony Wild's ability to simultaneously inform and involve his students, I have made significant positive personal and operational improvements.  For a key grounding in a number of key operational areas, I would have no hesitation in recommending the Dawson Berkeley & Partners course."  S. Mayne, Inventory, Planning & Control Manager for a plastics manufacturer
