This is really useful training. Interesting topics supported by clear explanations, delivered by an excellent and highly engaging trainer. The course achieved its aim for me, and I make use of the learnings on a regular basis. It gives a great grounding in IR and is ideal for those moving into the industry for the first time or in the Financial Communications business.

This course is an extremely good introduction to IR in general. I had a generic knowledge of IR and the financial markets and so now feel much more comfortable and far more informed.
