Blended and Hybrid education model
The first five modules are delivered over two months each with a combination of self-paced and ex-cathedra class on-site (also available in virtual classes fort those unable to attend physically). Blended Learning is applied for each module as follows:
Part 1 (Acquire in an offline learning mode): Plan for a minimum of 12 hours of self-learning where participants obtain self-study resources.
Part 2 (Evaluate): A short self-evaluation survey to test the readiness to attend the F2F classes.
Part 3 (Build expertise): Attend onsite classes and workshops that are also available remotely.
Part 4 (Group Case study): Groups of participants remotely address specific cases related to each module.
Part 5 (Final delivery): Participants present the deliverables of their case study to a jury. This is followed with knowledge-based examination.
Adjusted to your own needs and career targets
A career development tool is available to participants to assess their competences against current or targeted roles.
On that basis, they adjust their education experience to focus on those domains that they require most.
As a result, both phases 1 (Acquire) and 4 (Case study) are required to address those focus areas.
A personal acceptance interview is conducted to formalise the study plan and to level up the participants.
An exit interview is conducted at the graduation time.
