But don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take our word for it! Here are a few testimonials from our PADI Business Academy graduates! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We attended the PADI Business Academy this year in Durban and we found it to be very worthwhile and informative course. If you are wanting to take your business to the next level then this is one course you need to try! The PADI staff were efficient, knowledgeable and very open to discussion and helping in whatever way they could. We found that we learnt to use tools we knew existed, but we didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how to use effectively. They helped to provide us with some very useful tips on Social Media, Website Development, Customer relationship management and Pricing Strategies along with a few others.<\/p>\n<p>Since attending the PADI Business Academy we have seen some really positive increases in sales and especially an increase in awareness of our centre. We are getting enquiries from all over the world now for courses and information about our local diving area. Our website has been more effective and gained attention due to the changes implemented and we are expecting the business to continue to grow. We really appreciate all the time and effort that the EMEA team put in during the course and also all the follow up assistance after the course. We would highly recommend the Academy to anyone who is wants to improve or expand their dive centre.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p><em>Mark Weaver &#8211;\u00c2\u00a0M<\/em><em>anta Marine, S-23980<br \/>\n<\/em><em>East London, South Africa &#8211;<\/em><strong><em><strong>South Africa Business Academy <\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8251 size-full\" style=\"border: 0px solid #000000\" src=\"http:\/\/padiproseurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/10649993_915123355181953_3306367318674213865_n.jpg\" alt=\"10649993_915123355181953_3306367318674213865_n\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/padiproseurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/10649993_915123355181953_3306367318674213865_n.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The PADI Business Academy is a turning point.
