Introduction
Our roots can be traced back to the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, where in 1996 the Austrian Banken Kolleg Management Academy was set up as a spin-off of the Institute of Banking Management under Prof. Wilhelm Bühler. Today the Management Academy (www.richtigerkurs.at) is a leading independent service and education platform for Austrian and international companies. The development of the 1st Business Certificate, a Europe-wide business education brand, represents a significant milestone on the path to achieving a uniform European standard in business education.
As a sound business education programme, the 1st Business Certificate® is always being adapted to meet the current requirements of the economy. Together with our Austrian and European partners we are setting new standards in adult education and opening up new career prospects for 1BC® graduates.
1BC® - reach the peak of business education!
