The course was definitely relevant to my work and I appreciated knowledge being imparted on a need-to-know basis rather than going into historical references. Both instructors were phenomenal. This is a hard combination to find. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Both Jason and Sherry explained concepts in an easy-to-follow manner. The material progressed logically. Skills were taught in a way that can be easily transferred to the workplace.The whole week was fantastic! The course was in-depth and fast paced but both facilitators took time to answer questions and make sure everyone was understanding as the course progressed. The facility is professional and well set-up for learning. All staff are friendly and helpful.

Nuno Guerreiro, Booking.com Nov 9, 2018
Considering the time and amount of topics to cover, I did expect some additional preparation or homework and that could make the week more valuable, with some small "real-life" business cases. Still Very good impression on the course. Both Jason and Sherry did a great work, to keep the group engaged, sharing info at a good pace, and bringing some own experience examples. Find that the overall course was aligned with my expectations. The high-level concepts but also the depth of discussions around the financial metrics and strategic approach provided additional tools that I'm able to apply back in the business and with my direct managment team.

I really enjoyed Debora's style of facilitating the course. Jeff's style is a bit different. Half of the time I feel that we were discussing non-course related stuff. I wish we did more exercises on reading balance sheet and cash flow (instead of just using one company Johnson & Johnson) Some of the course content is outdated, especially in the Marketing area.

The trainers were very knowledgeable and interactive. On the other hand, much of the content in the book could not be covered which makes it less relevant as a tool for reviewing. Consider having a more concise book! all good Great overall experience with CMC

Loved the course! Even better if at the end of the Strategy day we had done a hands-on exercise on setting the strategy for a business. That information could have been reused for the end-of-day exercise for Marketing, making both days more effective. Jason was very engaged. Sherry was a little less so - she looked at the clock a bit more and cut contents short as much as possible. Both are clearly very strong in their subject matter expertise. I learned a lot every single day of this 5-day course. Well worth the money!!

This was an excellent first step towards more senior overall strategic thinking. Sherry is extremely knowledgeable in her area and is able to bring relevant and real examples to the theory. A part 2 would be interesting. More detail to accounting, planning etc...

The first 2 days are a little light and hard to apply to the real world using Johnson & Johnson as examples as even if we were to work for such a large corporation we would have little influence. All of us in the course, when reviewed by Deborah were happy with the Cash Flow sections but the rest is hard to apply. Many of us would have liked a budgeting portion in there to fill it up. There was too much trying to figure it out. The portions on strategy could be expanded with regards to time.

Past participant, Comtech Aug 27, 2018
This is a lot of material to cover in one week. Perhaps too much. Both instructors were very good and had great knowledge on their subjects. Content was very dated. Needs to be updated. I think this course touched on a lot of areas but did not allow enough time to cover each area in much depth. I had a suspicion coming into the course that it may be the case. Still valuable because of instructor knowledge on subjects.

Sherry and Jason were excellent Facilitators and the group was a nice mix. I have already recommended the 5Day MBA to colleagues, friends and family. Thank you Both Facilitators have same or similar ratings If it would at all be possible to have a better Corporate rate at the One King West that would be great. I chose that hotel for the amenities and have the ability to cook in my room for a one week stay. It was quite costly at 280 per night. Thank you

Past Participant, Denso Sales Canada, Inc Feb 10, 2017
My expectations coming into the course were limited as I did not know what could be covered in 5 days. Finance / Acct was clear but scope was banking sector not operational. Strategy and Marketing were good but compressed, and Management was a refresher. Other CMC courses specific to each subject with more detail would enhance the experience. I believe that this course is a good tool to refresh and engage attendees who have already experienced training in the focus areas. It would be a challenge to digest and process the information without previous experience. I enjoyed interacting with other participants and understanding their experiences.

Past Participant, University of Toronto Feb 9, 2017
The finance material could have been done in less time. Jason went off on many tangents and provided a lot of personal commentary that was unwarranted. He was also very cynical which I did not appreciate. He was very knowledgeable and was good at explaining the material though. Sherry was fantastic and engaging! Overall I was very happy with the course, but I would have loved more time with Sherry to unpack the things that she was teaching. A note that I would rate Jason as good and Sherry as excellent. You should separate these questions when there is more than one facilitator.

Its Satisfactory as there was nothing wrong with it other than the comparison to it being a 5 day MBA - felt the material was extremely junior and reminded me of when I took my first Team Leader/New Manager program 10 years ago when I was starting my career Was expecting more Both facilitators were good - Sherry was very engaging and high energy which made the course that much better

Past Participant, Mitacs Inc. Aug 22, 2016
I believe Jason's material could have been covered in a shorter amount of time as we spent a great deal of time on tangents that were really unrelated to the material. I also could have done without the cynicism and political commentary that he provided. Sherry was great - fully engaging and on topic.

Past Participant, TELUS Health Aug 19, 2016
I would have enjoyed more case studies that challenged the group to problem solve. I felt like there wasn't enough group exercises to challenge me.
-
Past Participant, Accelerated Connections Feb 28, 2016
I was interested in learning more about Strategic approaches which were covered in Day 3 however it seems that there wasn't enough time in that section to do more "real life" exercises.
Overall I felt that Jason was more enthusiastic about the material. He was also able to engage the audience more by using a lot of examples and interactive methods.

I wish the financial portion was slightly longer as more time was needed to sufficiently gain a solid understanding of the formulas and how to gauge the numbers per industry.
