STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
THIERRY ARMEL BEDI, Ivory Coast
"Studying at GBSB Global Business School for a year and half has helped me to improve my communication skills. I think GBSB Global is more multicultural than other school I have attended. There are a lot of students from abroad in the Business Bachelor program, and I have been learning a lot from my classmates and my professors. In my opinion, studying at GBSB Global provides students the best possible communication training one could ask for."
GBSB Global Alumnus, Class of 2017
SALEH ABDALLA, Egypt
"The school met my expectations, both the classes and the style of teaching. Entrepreneurs and various business owners visit us. They share their experience and business tips. One of the main things I love about the school is that they provide us with practical knowledge that we will use in the real world and not the stuff that you would write down in a notebook and forget later."
