It consists of two three-day residential programme blocks conducted over a two-month period, with a final one-day session four to six weeks later.
The session format includes small and large group work, one-on-one discussions, a business simulation and guest speakers, while working around themes of self awareness, personal effectiveness, leadership & business understanding.
You'll spend each block away from the business, and accommodation and food for block one and two is included in the cost. Removing yourself from the business during the course allows you to fully commit to the learning experience, and make the most of networking with your fellow leaders during and after the learning modules.

It was so relevant to the real world. Talking in the class with the coordinators, and with the classmates and finding out that everyone is going through similar challenges just in a different setting.
