If I have completed LBS Executive Education programmes in the past, will they count towards the certificate?

Yes. If you have completed one or two programmes in the last two years, then we will take the programme/s into consideration to help you customise your experience based on your learning goals. If you have completed three or more programmes, we are not able to offer you the Certificate in Finance as you will not reap the full benefits of the coaching and customised learning experience.
