Kicking off the event, Consulting Director of Education, Adam Sulley, deemed this success the "cherry on top of a well-deserved cake" for the diligent candidates after years of preparing for the maiden exams.
Mr. Sulley urged corporate organizations to give these budding marketing pros a chance to shine. He stated, "These dynamic individuals have demonstrated their abilities and capabilities to execute marketing tasks professionally, and as each of them completes the course in its entirety, they'll be fully-fledged, professional Marketers, ready to help bolster resilient product and corporate brands."
EPP Book Services happily sponsored certificates and a selection of marketing books for the various subject areas the honorees excelled in.
For Pathway 3, the Over-all Best Student Award was bestowed upon Dr. Bright Kyei Wiredu, a medical Doctor with entrepreneurial aspirations. Excitedly, he noted that this professional marketing qualification marked a pivotal step towards achieving his entrepreneurial goals and future endeavors, and he vowed to remain focused, aiming to transition into a professional Marketer as swiftly as possible.
Besides being the best student in Selling and Sales Management and completing Pathway 3, Dr. Wiredu received a total of three awards.
