Our PMC Testimonial
Throughout the Certification program, the dedication of the SBACC team was consistently evident. The personalised attention I received was particularly noteworthy. I commend SBACC for their exceptional operations team and would highly recommend their PMC Certification to anyone seeking to upskill, given the outstanding support they provide.
The certification process was handled with exceptional professionalism. I’m thrilled to have chosen SBACC for my certification and am excited to be part of their network moving forward. I highly recommend SBACC to any consultants considering certification
I applied to be certified by SBACC because the certification is well recognized internationally and SBACC has a good reputation in Singapore
The PMC certification opens doors to engagement in government-funded programs, C-suite discussions, problem-solving initiatives, and various workforce and business transformations
I appreciate the SBACC PMC network which has enabled fruitful collaborations, sharing of latest trends, innovations and practices
Becoming a PMC is more than about professional growth — it was about stepping up to make a bigger impact as a consultant. And it’s been incredibly rewarding
It was a reassuring, professional and supportive process to apply for the PMC Certification with SBACC. The team were prompt and on-hand to answer questions, clarify and make the process as smooth as possible.
Having this PMC certification has helped enhance my professional credentials for many of my overseas consulting projects, which includes consulting for governments, NGOs, private sector and national programs outside of Singapore
I wholeheartedly recommend the SBACC PMC Certification to any consulting professional looking to gain recognition through a formal qualification and continuing development journey and make a significant impact in the industry.
As a Practising Management Consultant certified by SBACC, I am recognized as possessing the professionalism, practical qualifications, knowledge and skills. For these reasons and more, SBACC has been and remains the one professional body that has enhanced my journey in partnering with SMEs to achieve their aspirations and success
When I started my entrepreneurial journey, I knew I wanted to make a difference for small businesses. Today, I'm proud to share some of the incredible stories of growth and resilience I've had the privilege to be a part of.
I highly recommend PMC certification to anyone who wants to be taken seriously as a Management Consultant. This recognition would be an indispensable tool for promoting and advancing business professionalism in these ever-changing times.
I joined SBACC because I felt that they were well-represented in Singapore's strongest sectors and therefore I could grow from their experience and footprint, rather than being part of another passive association.
The process of being a PMC was straightforward and efficient. SBACC makes good use of the applicant’s time. Of course, there is an art to being an effective advisor, and every PMC must develop his or her own approach. But I found the learning modules run by SBACC to be informative and fascinating.
I chose to be a PMC because SBACC has a good brand as a council of business advisors and the certification program looks practical.
I was recommended to walk with SBACC by a few industry partners and after my experience, will continue to recommend SBACC.
SBACC has a strong reputation and the team of staff demonstrated great support in assisting me so I can embark on my PMC journey and I am sincerely appreciative of this
I will say the journey to be qualified as Practising Management Consultants has never been easy. As the primary objective of SBACC is to promote and advance the professionalism of business consulting, SBACC has set a high bar for the admission of a new practising management consultant.
Happy to report that I'm now a Certified Practising Management Consultant (PMC)! The certificate was awarded by the Singapore Business Advisors & Consultants Council. I did not have any specific reason to get it in all these years - until now. For starters, I can now work with all the grants offered by Enterprise Singapore!
I was really surprised to find the process of obtaining certification very quick and efficient and truly applaud Singapore Business Advisors & Consultants Council for running trainings that are very informative and interesting.
