Testimonials:
The Business Innovation Program was the best decision I made in 2011, the programme was inspiring & creative, and the programme gave me confidence in myself and the capability to create my own business to secure my future.
Gerry Rellis, Business Advisor at iSmart Consultancy Ltd.
I would highly recommend the Business Innovation Programme to anyone who is at a crossroads in their career. The Ryan Academy provides a unique environment for learning and personal development and I would like to thank all the staff for their support.
Grace Fitzmaurice, Business Innovation Programme 2012/13
One of the biggest decisions of my life was to return to learning. Even with 32 years of experience, it was a light bulb moment – the realisation that while education and experienced, there would always be a need for further improvement, to develop and acquire new skills.
Stuart Agar, Managing Director, Retail Conceptz
