“There are big companies around Dublin who would try and recruit WIT graduates each year and that’s based on the quality of the course”
Brendan is currently manager in the Company Secretary’s Department of PricewaterhouseCoopers with a portfolio of clients ranging from small companies to PLCs. Brendan advises his clients of their statutory obligations and also attends AGMs for his clients throughout the year and occasionally conducts Poll at AGMs.
Recalling the BA course he completed at the WIT School of Business, Brendan is an advocate of the course design, with particular emphasis on how each module is geared towards the resulting career options. He cites the example of the ICSA exams, where he received 13 exemptions out of 18 exams verifying how the course was really geared toward the ICSA exams. He also pointed out the relevancy of the exams and how the theory learned in the WIT School of Business really applies when you go out to work.
