Galileo Master Certificate (GMC)

The internationally recognised Galileo Master Certificate (GMC) has been achieved by participants worldwide for over 40 years, from organisations such as United Nations UNDP, Nissan, IBM, North American Development Bank, Hilton International Hotels, Greater London Authority, and many more.

“I would recommend this route to anybody who wants to move into the sector. I gained the vital ingredients I was missing in my understanding of the Hydro and Wave Power development process. The structure of the course is very good and the layout is easy to follow, in a very concise but most beneficial way to anyone taking the course.”
