Alumni Survey, Statistics, and Testimonials
Valar Institute is a new division within Quantic School of Business and Technology. Its programs are built on the same platform and administered using the same innovative methodologies. With programs being around 1 year in length, it will be some time before end-to-end outcomes can be measured for Valar. More on Quantic's evaluation process follows.

Testimonials:
"The Quantic MBA has been a fantastic experience. The learning has been easily accessible and thorough, and I used lots of it at work before I’d even finished the course! It even helped me fast-track my career and get an 80% pay rise in a new role. Thank you!" - Harriet R. (United Kingdom)
"My journey with Quantic MBA was very timely since I was working on launching my startup early last year. Being an electrical engineer & scientist by training, I never had any training with the know-how of skill sets needed for running a company. Now, I wear multiple hats in my company as CEO developing marketing & financials plans, do balance sheets & crunch numbers to compute company valuations for investments. After the Quantic program, I feel capable & confident in making daily business decisions for my company!" - Kush A. (Singapore)

"Quantic MBA is a very innovative and intuitive learning platform. It enables working executives to learn while working. It is essentially the best of both worlds where you can apply what you have learnt on your job immediately." - Chester J. (China)

Burn those old school manuals—this is the future of learning, hands down." - William B. (Hong Kong)
"Quantic is how education should look like in the 21st century: online, self-paced and interactive. With Quantic, I learned crucial business concepts and connected with a global cohort of future leaders—exactly what I wanted from an MBA." - Marek S. (Czech Republic)
"As a hard of hearing, deaf individual, distance learning education can be a trial by fire. Believe me, I have done it all: on-site classes with and without assistance; online classes with un-captioned class videos or just bad audio clips. I haven’t let that deter me. I have a Masters in Organizational Leadership and a Project Management certificate. I was one of the youngest supervisors and assistant deans with over 60 direct reports and manage $1 million dollar projects regularly. My team and I were heroes completing projects and getting things done. But, I knew there was something missing that was holding me back. I had a wealth of information about leading teams and projects, but there was a business operations gap. I had been looking for years at MBA programs. Quantic’s EMBA program has filled that gap. Like my previous online degrees, Quantic gave me the freedom to work on my own time using the course app coupled with modern technology (Slack and Zoom) to communicate with my classmates. I have used Blackboard, LoudCloud and other education-made classrooms for years. Quantic’s version blows everything I’ve used in the past out of the water. Are there things I could change about the program? Yes. But I would say the same things about all the other classes and programs I have taken as well. Changes make it better for everyone! If you’re deaf or hard of hearing, this program is amazing and it focuses on what you see not what you hear. If you are a working adult, this is a program that will answer a million of those small questions that you have had over the years. If you are a small business owner—this is an absolute must! It’s like the mentor that you never had." - Rose H. (United States)
"With Quantic, I was able to balance the demands placed on me as an employee, father, husband and business leader while managing to earn an EMBA. This would not have been possible without the flexibility and helpful staff that Quantic provides." - Paolo S. (Australia)
"The EMBA program is a very well thought-out program—it's exciting and challenging at the same time! I enjoyed the structure, and appreciated the fact that I could move within this structure. I also appreciated that I could still work full-time in a very busy job! I find the content current and realistic, with a sense of fun, instilled with injections of theory and significant resources and value. I really enjoyed connecting with a diverse set of classmates and have learned a lot from them about other industries and socioeconomic aspects in different countries, just by working together. This program presented great and varied perspectives. I enjoy learning and affecting positive change through differences, and I found that this was easily done within the program." - Ghee K. (Australia)
"Quantic has given me the opportunity to study excellent and easy accessible content on the go within an already busy program, deepening cross functional knowledge and confidence, and empowering me with new skills and ideas which I use on a daily basis. A world of opportunities has opened up in and outside of my organization. Thanks Quantic!" - Frederik B. (South Africa)
"Quantic really changed my life. I gained deeper knowledge about the business world in so many aspects. Its self-paced program made it possible for me to learn new knowledge about business every week, finish the program on time, and get an MBA degree at the same time as pursuing my career goals." - Annisa S. (Indonesia)
"The Quantic coursework is interactive and I found the teaching method much more effective than the static and video based programmes on equivalent platforms such as LinkedIn Learning. The quality of the student cohort is also very good, with great networking opportunities." - Vishnu P. (United Kingdom)
"The Quantic EMBA program is challenging, fast-paced but highly valuable. The interactions with other students or in group studies on joint work have been a great pleasure to be part of. The knowledge and skills gained can be further used for work and other side projects. But as with all work, the self-discipline is key to success within this program same as work or anything else you do. Looking forward to utilizing the alumni network and additional lessons in the future for further self-improvements." - Eduard H. (Italy)
"Quantic is by far the best and most innovative online learning experience I have ever had. The Executive MBA, in particular, is perfectly suited for professional life. Short, clear and impactful teaching sequences make the follow-up of the training extremely simple and addictive!" - Rémi P. (France)
"The Quantic EMBA is great value for money: a comprehensive course, studying is fun, great possibilities for exchange and discussions with fellow students, very useful additional services. Quantic staff is very helpful and provides timely responses to questions that come up during the course. For me, it was definitely the right choice!" - Christine W. (Austria)
"Quantic MBA is a great platform to reconcile career aspirations, flexibility and a great network. I had an absolutely positive experience with the program in terms of study quality, materials, people and curriculum. Quantic sets the stage for a new era of e-learning without forgetting the importance of being part of a community with inclusive communication and sharing. It is the new milestone for how teaching can be transformed." - William C. (Slovakia)
"The EMBA from Quantic is one of the best programs I have been through in my 13 year career in Learning and Development. The micro-learning delivery on the mobile coupled with the application focus through case studies made learning stick. An amazing cohort of peers enhanced the learning experience. I moved to a new job during the final month of completion of my EMBA and I largely credit the skills showcased during interviewing to the Quantic EMBA. I have already recommended the program to many colleagues and will continue to do so." - Ashirvad L. (United Arab Emirates)
"The Quantic EMBA was exactly what I was looking for. The curriculum took my working experience and provided context from a theoretical level. I also wanted to up my personal education—it’s amazing how much this course has changed my outlook on many different areas of business and I wished I had this knowledge 10 years ago. I highly recommend taking this program." - Maximilian J. (Canada)
"The Quantic program is intensive, playful and delivered in a gamified way that helps make the content and principles sticky. I highly recommend the course to anyone whose mindset is focused on the journey and learning experience." - Neil W. (Hong Kong)
Starting a year long study program while having a full time job and a toddler at home felt like a daunting endeavor. However, the Quantic EMBA program made studying easy and enjoyable. The course material was fun, yet high-class. Everything was broken into 5-10 minute parts, that are doable even while waiting for a bus. I have learned a lot and met some amazing people along the way. At a fraction of the cost of comparable programs, Quantic is also great value. Definitely recommended!" - Johannes L. (Finland)
