ADVANCING FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE
FOR COMPANIES
All classes are delivered by Matthew Craston and each of them lasts three hours.
He uses his own unique materials, which attendees take away with them.
Classes are taught in the offices of the company or remotely if preferred – or when employees are based outside the UK.
Each of the classes works on its own, without requiring attendance of the other sessions.
