Our Story

Founded in 2005, CLBS is a corporate training and executive education provider licensed and regulated by the Mauritius Qualifications Authority (MQA). We specialise in cutting-edge programmes across finance, management, leadership, investments and real estate — combining practical, industry-relevant insights with globally recognised standards, and reaching around 500 participants annually.

Continental Growth

In 2023, CLBS became the first Mauritian institution to join the Association of African Business Schools (AABS). In 2024, director Kevin Sibartie was elected Treasurer and director Kishan Jhugroo was elected Assistant Treasurer. Building on this, CLBS opened a presence in Cape Town, South Africa in 2025, extending its reach onto the broader African continent.
