"The concept of the CBA, as a sign of academic achievement short of the MBA, is an important innovation offering a sensible alternative to men and women who are uncertain about the feasibility and practicality of the investment required by the latter degree. I have found teaching in the CBA program to be highly satisfying. Students are well prepared and bring to the classroom a wealth of practical experience which gives meaning to the concepts and models which I present. The two-way interchange between professor and student provides a rich environment which is conducive to the learning of both parties." |

"The CBA and MBA programs offered by AVT provide a unique means for busy executives to acquire the skills necessary for today's global economy-- and these programs do so in a manner that is efficient and economical.
I have taught in both programs since their inception, and I have found that the intensive two-day format for teaching is just the right combination: neither too long to become tedious, nor too short to cover the various topics adequately. The students are always prepared, and I believe one reason is that the format allows them to maintain their primary jobs, keep in touch with family, and yet still engage in a meaningful intellectual and learning experience at AVT.
I strongly believe that the AVT model will soon be replicated by other institutions of higher learning given its immense success. It works!" |

"AVT's Certificate in Business Administration established its standard-of-excellence as a worthy academic benchmark. To reach for an even higher plane of executive development and academic achievement, AVT has further collaborated with acclaimed American professors to create a unique new Executive MBA program. This builds upon and employs lesson materials and cases from these World Class Institutions; plus campus and faculty visits to insure standards of achievement consistent with this ambitious collaboration. An integrated, advanced management program employs World Class case materials and experienced faculty to maximize adaptive "new learnings" in modern, global contexts. Clearly, there is nothing more practical than good theory!" |

"We (Paul Hooper and John Page) have thoroughly enjoyed teaching in both the CBA and the MBA programs. The students are well prepared from their previous education and share a good combination of responsibility and seriousness of purpose plus a good sense of humor. We have been most impressed with the range and depth of business experience brought by the students to the classroom. The CBA classes are larger as the students not only learn the material in the curriculum, but also consider whether the complete MBA program is for them. The smaller MBA classes are made up of the higher achieving students from the CBA, which is entirely appropriate for the more difficult and challenging material." |

"The Executive CBA and progression into the Executive MBA program is in my mind the best international business program for experienced executives that I have come across in Scandinavia. The curriculum and assignments are structured in such a way, that the investment of time and energy in the CBA and MBA program is very beneficial for the company that sponsors the student. Many assignments are centered around producing ideas and suggestions which can improve the company’s bottom line. And the focus on applicative models and theories, as well as case learning, provides the students with a toolbox which is immediately ready for use.
I find that most CBA and MBA students bring energy and experience into the classroom. When this is paired with an understanding of the curriculum and doing the case analysis, the class room discussions becomes very profound and ultra-productive for generating top-level learning. And they are often also an inspiration to me." |

”Teaching the CBA, as well as the MBA, at AVT is one of those highly satisfying situations you as a professional enjoy being a part of. Students and teachers both, become part of an active learning environment with lively debates and with a wealth of knowledge and experience being exchanged among all participants. The combination of a good mix of students with different backgrounds, an interesting curriculum and an optimized learning environment provide all parties with a maximum learning experience. As a teacher it is great to experience how students benefit now only from teaching, but also from the interaction, the informal networking and exchange of knowledge and experience, which are key aspects of a journey where managers become leaders, and leaders become excellent. Hence, there is full value for the time invested for all parties.” |
