What motivated you to participate in that training program? Why ENEB?
Mainly because it is one of the common requirements in many of the job offers that I find on the networks. It is sometimes mandatory to apply to certain positions.
I chose ENEB because I had been looking for training programs for a while and I received information about the master’s degree by email and I thought it was an impossible offer to refuse. It was not only because of the offer, but when I browsed the web and compared it with other business schools, I saw that ENEB was in well ranked.
Professionally speaking, what are your short and long-term objectives?
My current job is satisfactory, but I’ve been working in this company for 9 years and I always think about growing professionally. I think that this type of training makes other companies be interested in you, it gives you a comprehensive view of aspects that I’m not developing at my job and it helps me so that other companies can consider me a good candidate for other positions.
Was it difficult for you to reconcile work and study?
Not at all. I consider myself a disciplined person, but thanks to the flexibility you offer, I was able to finish the course in 13 months. I didn’t rush to finish it and I think that the methodology was good enough to obtain good academic results.
It’s a great way of learning for someone who’s working. In fact I'm doing the Master’s degree in Digital Marketing also with you, so you can be sure that I thought it was a good formula. After completing the MBA I already have the experience of how to organize myself, how to study for the subjects and at the moment my pace is good, the previous experience was very useful for me.
How did you organize your time to complete the training program?
I usually spent some time working on it at night, before going to sleep, and on Saturday mornings, it was my routine. I saw that if I kept that rhythm more or less regularly I could progress within a reasonable time.
Did you always get help from your tutors?
They were always extraordinarily fast. I sent them my assignments on Saturday mornings many times and then on Saturday afternoon, I received the confirmation. The attention is impeccable and each answer was not only satisfactory and fast, but they also covered the need that I had in each moment.
What would you single out from your experience with ENEB?
It was a surprisingly good experience. This is my first online training, I only attended a face-to-face master’s degree. The most pleasant thing was that I realised that there’s quality education online and it has exceeded the expectations of other face-to-face courses that I did. I also believe that it’s the future for people who work.
