The Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant is the only nationally certified specialist who provides diagnosis and advice to address management issues faced by small and medium enterprises. After passing the seven subjects of the first exam, you can obtain the qualification by (1) passing the second exam and then engaging in practical training or diagnostic work for 15 days or more, or (2) completing a small and medium enterprise management consultant training course at the graduate school of our university or other institution.
The students studied at introductory lectures, special lectures to help them pass the first exam, and intensive training courses during long vacations, while also taking advantage of the "Diagnostician Training Group," a study group for students aiming to pass the Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant Examination. They also gained further skills by receiving support from students who had already passed the exam.
