Delegates who attended the GCMA’s Advanced Management Programme Certificate in Marketing Strategy lauded the impact the course had on their understanding of the subject.
The course was delivered over two days at the stunning Ashorne Hill in Leamington Spa, where the GCMA’s education Partners Medi8 Golf led an immersive and interactive workshop providing invaluable insights into high-level marketing strategy.
A collaborative approach fostered dynamic discussions and hands-on learning, ensuring participants could immediately apply their knowledge.
Throughout the first day, attendees laid the groundwork for developing a comprehensive marketing strategy for their clubs. That practical approach enabled them to return to their workplaces with a clear, actionable plan to implement alongside their teams.
