Only after the participants produce their ideas, do we introduce best practices and success stories from the international and local organisations relevant to their field. Finally, the participants are given homework – a task to implement at their workplace. Our training practices are based on Harvard Business School practices. We create a professional, safe, highly interactive and inclusive environment where participants can feel free to express themselves and their ideas without fear of being judged.

What Our Clients Say
We are very happy to be dealing with the college where an English language educational program was organized to suit the nature of work in the industry and business. The books and the teaching method were entertaining for the employees, which gave them the opportunity to develop their English language and was reflected in their performance at work.
I would like to highlight a few things relevant to our experience with MCBS Training Center: The MCBS training team are so dynamic and patient to meet the requirements, expectations, and respond to the client’s demands. The team were dedicated to tailor the complete program alongside with us and they were adaptive to any changes based on our Management feedback. Very professional in communication and response prior and throughout the program and professionalism was maintained especially during the pandemic period. Although the program is ongoing, we have already sensed the quality of education provided which reflected on their capabilities and competencies. Finally, according to my personal experience, the service was exceptional, comparing with other providers I have worked with.
One of our best of the best partner in the Sultanate. Working with “MCBS – CCEPS” I can say that we have found our perfect partner. The great achievement that we both managed to reach was because of the professional and experienced team of CCEPS.
