Alumnus Joost Pennock

Joost Pennock, Business Controller at PCI Nederland
The CMA programme at VU has not only contributed to my personal development but has also enabled me to further professionalise my role as a Business Controller.

Why did you choose this progamme? The CMA in general, and why the CMA at the VU?

The VU has a good reputation and the programme is offered part-time, which made it easy to combine with my work. I look back on the programme with satisfaction. The lectures were strong in content and prepared me well for the exam. The programme helped me to contribute with more confidence at a strategic level.

As a Business Controller, I was seeking a programme that would further enhance my financial and strategic skills and prepare me for the next stage of my career. Choosing the CMA programme at VU was therefore a straightforward decision. What I particularly valued was the combination of financial expertise and strategic insight. The programme not only provides a solid grounding in cost accounting and financial planning, but also places strong emphasis on decision-making, performance management, and ethics — precisely the elements that are becoming increasingly important in my profession.

The CMA programme at VU has not only contributed to my personal development but has also enabled me to further professionalise my role as a Business Controller. I would recommend it to anyone wishing to distinguish themselves within the field.
