Learn actively
Work through cases, simulations and discussion rather than only listening to lectures.
Overview
Turn leadership intent into demonstrated capability.
Four weeks of classroom learning built around practice, evidence and feedback.
The Academy combines four schools, sixteen modules and sixty-four learning hours. Participants learn actively, apply ideas in realistic practice and build an evidence portfolio for the 100-day Lab.
