Courses in Germany are just too theoretical to compare them with courses I did in Sydney. Great experience - they call it hands-on teaching!

“Outstanding felling”

Marios K

Greece,
Marketing and Sales Management, 2005

Overall

Everything was great that period but one thing that i remember and help me a lot was the Sales Psychology courses.

Careers

Absolutely, the experience was amazing, in terms of a place so much up front at sales mentality.

Pros

Mentality wise

Cons

there is always need of improvement but generally they are doing great compare to Europe cause they adapt the U.S. mentality standars.
