It helps me to understand basic finance terms and how we can improve more on our business.its a good learning process to develop more my knowledge in business, how to manage my business, especially how we can manage or control our own budget to meet the target. It's a great training. For me, I will give 5 for the knowledge that you give it to me.
Wan Azura Binti Wan Anwar
The content was practical and relevant. The breakdown of the Profit & Loss Statement and the method to calculate breakeven points were useful in helping me to understand outlet financials better. The session was engaging, especially with classroom exercises and activities where we had to identify opportunities (expenses) from P&L. This helped reinforce the concepts in a realistic way.
Noor Liyana Hashim
For me personally who has no prior experience or knowledge in business and finance, it is very beneficial. From your training, now I know the basics on how to manage costs (COGS, Labour Costs, etc.). Your training has also taught me to utilise Data Analytics as a tool in making business decisions. I also learned that the most important step in ensuring our success is by providing exceptional customer service as well as understanding customer behaviour.
Luqman Hakim Bin Azman

The materials covered key financial principles that are essential for our roles. The training was very engaging. The trainer utilized interactive methods and real-life examples, which kept the participants involved and interested throughout the sessions. I found the training to be practical and easy to apply in real-life scenarios. The case studies and group discussions provided us with valuable insights that we can implement in our daily work. It is a great training.
Nor Hartini Binti Basahrudin
I thoroughly enjoyed the training on business financials. It gave me a clear understanding of the importance of budgeting and financial forecasting in business. What I found especially useful was the way the trainer simplified the concepts of balance sheets and profit & loss statements for someone without a finance background. The practical examples and exercises helped reinforce the key points. I now feel more confident in analyzing our company's financials and making informed decisions. Excellent training, 5 stars!
Tracy Wong
The Finance Fundamental training conducted last month was quite beneficial in terms of content and relevance. The training provided a solid overview of key financial concepts that are essential for understanding the broader business landscape. Topics such as budgeting, financial statements, and basic cost analysis were well explained and applicable to our daily work. The session was engaging, with a good mix of theory and real-life examples that helped maintain attention throughout. The trainer did a commendable job making it easier for participants from non-financial backgrounds to follow along.
