STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
SALEH ABDALLA, Egypt
"GBSB Global met my expectations; the classes and teaching methods really appealed to me and made learning fun. During my studies, we have had entrepreneurs, investments bankers, and business owners give presentations on a variety of subjects. Their knowledge and wisdom have given me valuable insight into their professional experience and have provided me with tips on how to navigate the challenges I may face in the future. I really love that GBSB Global provides students with a practical knowledge that can be taken directly into the real world, and I appreciate that they do not overemphasize theory that is not even relevant today."
