Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Program for?
This information is beneficial for everyone, from the "CEO to the sweeper".
Essentially the more of your team that understands these fundamentals, the better off your firm will be. However, if you want to start slow, we suggest that partners specifically interested in management & finance training, those in management roles, and those younger future leaders with high potential are those you start with.
In an ideal world, they go through this program together as a unit for the most impactful outcomes.

How long will it take me to complete? Per section & in total?
Weekly you should expect about 2.5 hours per week, but self-paced learning is all up to your availability!
Then bi-weekly we have 60-minute long live sessions with your peers and industry experts.
Overall, you should expect anywhere from 20-40 hours over the 10-weeks. (Some learners spend much longer than this and some a little less, but it depends on where you are at in your professional journey)!

How many people from my team should participate?
Beyond being a great learning program this is an organizational alignment tool meaning that the more people who participate together, the better the impact you'll see when looking to implement these learnings.
What if I miss the live sessions?
While you will get the most out of joining them and participating in the conversation with both your peers and industry experts, if you can't make one do not worry! All sessions are recorded and uploaded into the eLearning to review later.
How long will I have access to the program?
Great question, while the program runs in a synchronous timing with your peers after the 10-weeks you will retain access as it does not expire!
Are there assignments & testing?
You won't get a certificate just for signing up, no participation trophies here!
Throughout the program there are 6 end-of-section knowledge checks at the end of each of the management sections, and then a cumulative exam at the end. All must be completed and passed in order to receive your certificate.
