The Revolutionary Approach to Education Will Change the Way
People Teach, Learn and Gain MBAs Forever - This is Just the
First Step
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire) - The London School of
Business and Finance (LSBF) today announced its new course which
will make accessing high quality MBA course material just a
mouse click away. At no cost, students with a computer anywhere
in the world can sign up to the lessons. Accredited by the
University of Wales, they only pay once they decide go forward
for formal accreditation (examination).
LSBF founder, Aaron Etingen said: “Earlier this year Bill Gates
claimed:
‘Five years from now on the web for free you’ll be able to find
the best lectures in the world...’. He was partly right - our
announcement today has fast tracked his vision. The LSBF Global
MBA(TM) starts today.”
With the LSBF Global MBA(TM), people will, for free, be able to
access lectures online from its faculty and panel discussion
groups including industry highflyers such as Partners at
Accenture Management Consulting and Deloitte, the Head of Royal
Navy Leadership Academy and the Director of Marketing at
Viagogo.
This revolutionary “try before you buy” approach offers two
unique advantages: Firstly it means that those interested in
learning business skills can now do so from some of the best
business lecturers, through an innovative and familiar delivery
channel at no cost; and secondly those considering going for
formal MBA qualification can test both the quality of the
programme and their aptitude and interest before any financial
commitment.
“Even if people do not decide to go for formal accreditation,
the LSBF Global MBA(TM) will, at no cost, better equip business
students to deal with the global job market” said Etingen.
Three studios in the LSBF’s London campus continuously record
constantly updated study material to keep in line with business
events.
“Historically there are real barriers for people to take the
time to do an MBA. Our new product uses the Facebook platform.
We expect to get over 500,000 users in the first year but that
is a conservative estimate. Seven years ago we had four students
in Hyde Park Corner, this year we have a group turnover of GBP
100m with 12,000 students in campuses around the world. The
online world makes it hard to predict but what we do know, is
that this is going to change education forever!” said Etingen.
“Recognising that the traditional business school platform is
decades old and academically stale, Facebook was chosen as the
largest growing social network” Etingen continued.
Etingen said: “There is immense potential in the market for
online education. Facebook is a real part of people’s lives and,
owning a sense of social responsibility, we want to promote
accessibility to knowledge.
The LSBF Global MBA(TM) application, which has been developed
for us by former Google employees, delivers an MBA awarded by
the University of Wales.
It is the first online MBA which will be free to all until the
optional point of assessment for qualification.”
While qualifications are still necessary to complete the
accredited LSBF Global MBA(TM) - a BSc/BA or five years
professional experience - there will be 100s hours of free study
resources available to all users, including 80 hours of high
definition video content. Unlike all other MBAs, no fees will be
required up front allowing students to save for exams or to pay
when it suits them financially.
