What Our Alumni Are Saying

As a board director, I’m pleased to have participated in the Cenerva TRMC training. The insights gained on regulatory evolution, customer protection and telecom management were both valuable and practical, enhancing my understanding of current trade and future challenges in the industry.

The training was well structured and information. The duration of each session is appropriate allowing for a deep dive into the lessons without feeling rushed. The balance made the learning experience both engaging and effective.

As a new board member for the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), with a background in media and communication, the training elevated my understanding and knowledge of telecommunication regulation. It came at the right time. The mix of facilitators with different backgrounds made the training enjoyable. The masterclass was a telecom regulation made simple, an eye-opener! Ahsanteni sana (thank you very much).

I think what I have taken from this course will help me throughout all my career life since it shows the economic side, the spectrum, the technical side, the management side, both hard and soft powers that regulators should have and I think I never joined such a good course before.

I just completed the Telecommunication Regulatory course with Cenerva. It helped me form an understanding of telecommunications, regulatory functions and ultimately the latest technology in where the future of regulation is heading.

And this will really help me in my day to day work.

I really liked how comprehensive the training was and how it captured all of the major and most important regulatory aspects of telecommunications regulation. I particularly liked the parts on market competition and competition policies regarding significant market power and how we would treat new market entrants into the course.

“I do think it’s very important and it gives a great oversight of telecommunications regulation and it would be very very helpful in moving forward when we look at legal issues and the impact of imaging technologies and on our sector moving forward.

This is the second TRMC course that I’ve undertaken and what I like best about it is the course content, the course discussions and also the whole set up.

We’re able to participate, have open discussions one-on-one with the facilitators and fellow participants and it gives us the opportunity to discuss issues that we might have in our various regions and countries. 

What I like most about the course is not just the structure, but the facilitators and the relevant content.

Having done it twice, I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone because we get up-to-date data that we’re able to share and I always leave more informed than when I arrive.

I chose to attend this course because I wanted to learn more about the digital economy, satellites as well as learning other areas outside of my economics department background. The best thing about this program is learning of the best practices across all the attendees from various countries in the emerging market sector.

Also the further discussions and breakout sessions in between the sessions as well as the breakout session exercise where we use the principles and tools that we learn throughout the course to apply in a real case study.

I learnt about telecommunications regulations across several jurisdictions and the convergence of this sector with other related areas. I have gained several insights that I would employ back home in my legal practice.

I had an awesome learning experience. TRMC is one of the best programmes for regulators, an eye opener on how to handle emerging issues in the sector as well as spectrum and competition challenges. The learning environment in Bath is one of the best, the rich historical landscape and after class sessions made may stay memorable. Thanks to the many experts who delivered high quality training.

This programme is specifically designed for senior telecommunications leaders, including C-suite executives, regulatory authority leaders, telecommunications operators, and government ministers.

The programme's advanced curriculum has been crafted specifically for decision-makers who operate at this executive level, ensuring meaningful peer-to-peer exchange and strategic discussions that reflect the complexities of leadership at this tier.

While both newer appointees and experienced leaders at this senior level are welcome, the programme is not suitable for mid-level management or those not yet in board-level or equivalent senior positions.

If you hold a position where you guide digital transformation and shape regulatory policy at the highest organisational level, you'll find great value in this programme.
