My admission and acceptance journey with C3S Business School to pursue my Level 7 in Strategic management and Leadership programme had been a great and interactive one and I am looking forward to starting as soon as possible (11th October 2021).Getting admission in C3S is a life changing opportunity which I have never regretted a bit considering it UK education, reasonable price, all learning is in English and it beautiful location (Barcelona, the heart of Spain).Also, this school has one of the best student's team who are always willing and ready to assist you from the beginning of the admission till you are given your acceptance letter. I have met lots and lots of admission team but I must confess, these people are one of a kind especially with their time of encouragement and guidance in submitting all needed documents at the appropriate time.When I saw 24/7 student team availability, I was a bit skeptical untill I was given that time from them.Today, I am so proud of being a part of C3S Business School all the way from Rwanda with the guidance and directions of my student's team, Anny and Jennifer.Cross my heart, you making C3S part of your educational journey would be one of the best decisions you would ever make in your lifetime.Thanks so much.
