Advanced Sport Management Course (ASMC) 2008
Final Session of ASM Course – 20th to 23rd Nov. 2008

The last session of the ASMC (4th Session) above ended very successfully on the 23rd November 2008. The case studies and feedback from the twelve (12) participants showed that the course was going in the right direction in helping the participants to be ‘better managers/ administrators’ in their own fields. The course had good impact on them and many expressed a change in their work attitude. Their sharing had also an impact on the course facilitators and programme directors who are now making plans for the next course.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED PLEASE WRITE TO OCM TO BOOK A PLACE FOR THE COURSE IN 2009. FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE GIVEN VIA EMAILS.
