From our Chairman – Derek Shields
Bespoke training to beginners and professionals
I was delighted to be invited to chair the inaugural Board of the Applied Business Academy (ABA) and now look forward to playing a full part in guiding it towards a successful and sustainable future.
As board members, our main task will be to ensure that ABA achieves its stated purpose of providing high-quality, practically-oriented programmes. ABA is part of the private education sector, and so we must be alert to the need to provide value for money and career for students. We will oversee academic standards, ensuring that ABA works within national and international assessment and regulatory frameworks, and that the organization and management of the institution is fit for purpose.
I feel confident that the composition of the Board is adequate to its task and look forward to our helping to steer ABA towards its objectives
