How will I learn?
The programme is structured over seven weeks (60 hours) and combines self-paced learning with guided interaction and coaching. It includes seven online modules, supported by multimedia learning materials such as videos, readings, and practical guides. Each module is accompanied by an individual assignment based on applied case scenarios developed by the course team. Participants submit one assignment per module and receive individualized feedback from the expert coach. Learning is further supported through a dedicated online forum that encourages peer exchange and discussion.
In addition, weekly live online webinars (approximately 60 minutes each) provide a synchronous learning space for discussion, clarification, and collective reflection. This blended approach – combining self-paced modules, interactive activities, and individualized support – enables participants to develop practical leadership competencies that can be directly applied within their professional contexts.
