EBS alumni about LCCI diplomas JELENA JOFFE: My LCCI qualifications not only helped

me become competitive and self-confident on the international studying arena while doing my Master of Science in Rotterdam School of Management, but also allowed to increase my chances for a decent employment in Western Europe.

•The skills I managed to obtain while preparing for LCCI examinations turned out to be of immense value for any given business context or academic assignments, which have been continuously appreciated by both, my colleagues and professors at Erasmus University.

EBS alumni about LCCI diplomas

Alina Moisijevica:

«My dream has always been leaving and working in London. Dreams do come true if you persevere.»

I presently live and work in this most beautiful city and work in FINALTA a leading financial services benchmarking practice.

At the job interview they were impressed by the number of my certificates and diplomas from LCCI and, I guess they worked a miracle and I was selected for the job! I am very proud and grateful to all my professors at RISEBA for being so professional and helping me to develop my language and writing skills.

I feel so proud when my boss sometimes praises my reports, researches or proposals. 

Olga Stupakova

“LCCI qualifications have not only equipped me

with an extensive knowledge base and variety

of skills but also have ascertained my personal

characteristics as persistency, goal achievement

and being a hard worker.

The courses undertaken were step by step taking me towards the advanced levels of knowledge in a given subject. With today’s increasing focus on globalization, international qualifications are a ticket to the global employment arena; these serve a dual purpose of ensuring standardized approaches to education and equip everybody with the same knowledge base that is crucial in order to operate in the international markets. The time is takes to achieve these results compared to the benefits that these can bring is the best bargain you can make”
