Your learning path is designed for momentum—balancing depth, challenge, and practicality—so you progress steadily from foundational leadership concepts to strategic, real-world application at pace.

No Fixed Class Times

There are no mandatory live lectures or fixed online attendance times. Study when you are most focused—early morning before the markets open, after a full day at the office, or over a quiet weekend—without missing a beat at work or at home.

Asynchronous flexibility respects your schedule and your time zone. Engage with materials, contribute to discussions, and submit assessments at times that align with your life, not the other way around.

Learn Anywhere—Mobile App with Offline Access

Whether you are commuting along Lac Léman, travelling between client sites, or boarding a flight to a conference, your classroom travels with you. Our mobile app allows you to download study materials and watch lectures offline, so learning continues even when connectivity doesn’t.

This portability turns waiting time into progress time. Review readings over coffee, refine an assignment mid-journey, or revisit a lecture before a key meeting—your programme is available wherever you are.

Open-Book Assessments that Reflect Real Leadership

We use open-book assessments instead of classical question/answer exams, mirroring how leaders solve problems in the real world. In your role, you consult data, frameworks, and sources—then you synthesise, judge, and decide. Your assessments reflect that reality.

Expect to demonstrate rigorous analysis, strategic thinking, and practical application. These assessments reward insight, not short-term memorisation, helping you build a lasting toolkit you can use on Monday morning.

Learn from faculty and tutors who graduated from world-renowned universities including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their scholarship and professional experience bring global perspectives into your learning journey.
