Your learning follows your life. Review readings on the go, take notes on your tablet, and keep your research moving forward from wherever you are. With everything you need at your fingertips, you stay in control of your progress.

Open Books Assessments that Reward Insight, Not Memorisation

We use open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams, so your success depends on analysis, synthesis, and application—the same skills senior leaders use every day. This format encourages deeper reading, critical thinking, and the ability to construct evidence-based arguments.

By focusing on judgment over recall, you develop the intellectual muscle to navigate ambiguity, evaluate competing data, and make defensible decisions. It’s the kind of assessment that builds the confidence to lead at the highest level.

Be guided by tutors and faculty who graduated from leading institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their diverse academic roots and breadth of professional experience enrich your learning with perspective and practicality.

These mentors challenge your assumptions, refine your research design, and support your progression from practitioner to scholar-practitioner. Their coaching is personal, their standards are exacting, and their commitment to your success is unwavering.
