  "This is an excellent course well put together by NBS. The professors are leading experts in their fields and the lessons emphasise a lot on practical hands-on approach. I enjoy the lively discussions with talented peers from various sectors including statutory boards, MNCs and start-ups, during the course. We were able to brainstorm and express our ideas spontaneously. This has made the whole learning experience much richer."
  
  Rick Teo
  Repair Planning & Project Engineer, Liebherr-Singapore Pte Ltd
  
  
  "I was a R&D engineer for a long time before I started a tech start-up a few years ago. I have been learning management and leadership skills the hard way, usually through mistakes. This programme enables engineers like me acquire essential management and leadership skills. Many topics resonate well with my personal experience and have helped me understand how I should do certain things.
  
  The training has been an enlightening and enriching experience for me. I wish I had taken such a course years ago. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who is an engineer by training."
