BDTI's e-Learning Courses: Company Law, Securities Law, and Corporate Governance
BDTI believes that it is most beneficial if managers and executives learn the basics an early stage, thereby allowing sufficient time for core knowledge and ” best practice” habits to permeate throughout the organization. For this reason, we offer low-cost e-learning courses on the Company Law, Securities Law, Corporate Governance Basics, and Corporate Governance Practice, which can be purchased on either on (a) a per-person, per-course basis or (b) an “Unlimited e-Learning” basis, for the entire company and its subsidiaries.
