the BRC LEARNING TEAM

There are many organisations out there who will offer generic 'management’ programmes, but we know that retail is unique and the retail skillet is changing. As retailers with over 60 years' of combined retail experience, we understand these changes. That is why deliver competitive and timely qualifications developed by retailers for retailers.
