The UKOMA course has a tough task of being something for everyone. Over the years it has, and continues, to evolve to being a very good grounding to those starting out or transfering between departments. It also gives people an insight to others roles within their own company. Most importantly it is a great place to make contacts. We are a very small profession and the people you meet there will move up through the industry with you. Even though we are all competing with each other in these tough times we all help one another when the need arises. This course I felt fosters this. This is very important in such a complex and highly regulated industry.
