Executive Training & Consulting

About Us
Executive Training & Consulting is an innovative consultancy outfit with expertise in training and capacity building.  We employ the services of experienced international trainers and consultants both from here in The Gambia and from The UK with up-to-date knowledge combined with extensive experience of working in Europe, Middle East, and Africa.  In addition to being highly experienced trainers and facilitators, all our trainers have extensive hands-on business backgrounds in senior positions before joining us and can, therefore, provide practical examples of the leading-edge technologies in use.

We work in partnership with our clients in developing capacity, in retaining it, and in effectively using it to achieve their respective development objectives. Our mission is to be the first and preferred choice for organisations in the West Africa sub-region seeking to develop and build the capacity of their institutions.

We will achieve our mission by:

2.     Providing training with measurable impact
3.     Constantly reviewing our processes and procedures to ensure we become increasingly efficient
4.     Continuing the development of the Executive Training & Consulting team and the practices by which we work
