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 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.

Ahsanteni sana (thank you very much).

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.

Our curriculum integrates legal, technical, and economic aspects of regulation, making it valuable regardless of your specific role.

We regularly welcome delegates from diverse functions within both operators and regulators - from legal and compliance teams to technical specialists and economic analysts. This multi-disciplinary approach helps you understand how different aspects of regulation interact, enabling you to work more effectively with colleagues across your organisation.

While our participants typically have 1-12 years of industry experience, there's no strict requirement. Our expert instructors adapt the content to benefit both experienced professionals and those newer to regulation. What matters most is your commitment to advancing your regulatory expertise.

Each TRMC course earns you 20 credits toward recognised qualifications: 60 credits for a Certificate, 120 for a Diploma, or 180 for a Masters (including dissertation). This creates a clear pathway for your continued professional development. 

On completion of the course, you need to complete five, 500 word essays reflecting the knowledge you have gained, proof of additional reading, and how it could be applied to a real world situation. 

Each essay will be on a different subject taught during the sessions.

Theory meets practice through interactive sessions, real-world case studies, and group exercises. You'll work on actual regulatory challenges, guided by instructors who have implemented these solutions in the field. Every concept is grounded in practical application.
