Summer School 2008
"I must say that my time at G.I.A was very well spent. I learnt loads even after having worked in this industry for six years. But then learning is an ongoing experience and it was the best 26 weeks of my life. G.I.A is a perfect blend of experience, fun and learning. Thanks to all at G.I.A."
