Certified Consultant Programme (CCP)
Consultants work as professional advisors to Governments, businesses in the private sector, development partners and even the not-for-profit organisations. They navigate through the most complex challenges organisations and countries face.
Their advice has short, medium to long term implications on nations, and institutions, across all sectors of the economy. Trillions of dollars are paid to consultants around the world. The quality of advice they provide must therefore meet the analytical threshold, professional standards and foresight consistent with the consulting body of knowledge.
In response to this need, ESAMI Global Consulting is pleased to invite applications for the Certified Consultant Programme, (CCP).
