Company Secretarial Teaching Institute 

We offer a number of different courses under our newly formed division namely; the Company Secretarial Teaching Institute. We aim to cater for a variety of needs in the market and also aim to attract new entrants to the company secretarial profession.

As in the past, we still see ourselves continuing with small group seminars, as it is the ideal time/place to get that hands-on one-on-one training and to ask those questions you never get to ask. We will also incorporate more focused and practical teaching.

Diverse offering

We have a diversified offering trying to accomodate most attendees as follows:
