PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
As a learning community, BBIS supports and creates professional development opportunities for our staff throughout the school year.
BBIS staff attend and deliver workshops and presentations at key international conferences hosted by e.g. AGIS, ECIS and CIS. We also host in-house workshops and invite experts to train our staff on a regular basis.
