Welcome to the 2012 Prospectus of the Jersey International Business School. Now in its second year, the Business School has trained over 3,000 students, studying for degree programmes through to attendance at continuing professional development sessions. In addition, the School has delivered over five hundred in‑company training sessions aroundthe world, and facilitated e-Learning solutions to businesses in eight jurisdictions.

In 2012, the School will offer 2 degrees in association with The University of Manchester Business School, 28 professional qualifications, 10 Certificated Awareness Programmes and over 40 short courses.

As the exclusive provider of a host of globally-recognised qualifications including the Central Law Training programmes leading to the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners qualifications, and the International Compliance Association qualifications, we aim to be the leading business education provider in the Channel Islands.

I am proud that the School has established a new Faculty of Leadership & Management chaired by Miles Templeman, the former Director General of the Institute of Directors. The Faculty includes a number of leading tutors in their respective disciplines.

Jersey International Business School is made up of a very talented group of people including a number of exceptional lecturers and an administration team dedicated to the highest standards of customer service and event organisation. It is also supported by an exceptional Board of Directors. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work, support and ongoing commitment.

In a global knowledge economy the future of the Jersey economy depends almost entirely upon the quality and sophistication of its skills base. The Island can no longer compete on price or tax. It faces increasingly stiff competition from other international finance centres, notably Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore, all of which have highly-skilled work forces. The Business School meets the Island’s need for robust, credible and quality business education. We look forward to working with you in 2012.
