These masterclasses were developed over the past 12 years together with our international school and corporate partners. Each course is designed for our clients based on our existing portfolio of modules.

Our courses typically run for 3 weeks, with one, two or three weekly online micro-masterclasses, depending on your group’s chosen curriculum, time requirements and other needs.

These bitesized masterclasses can be easily integrated into students’ daily routines, and are a great way to help give students structure, practical skills and motivation, building on important leadership skills essential for success at school, university and the workplace.

Delivered by our Senior Trainers, guest speakers including the Forbes business woman of the year, top athletes, Swiss watchmaker Hublot’s Innovation Director, the Chairman of the Emirates Investment Center and industry experts.

Each online session ends with a practical task that can be applied in real world scenarios to reinforce the lesson’s learning outcome, and students end the course with a certificate of completion and a Personal Action Plan to help them with the continued development of their skills in the months following the course.

How it works

Fun and engaging online micro-masterclasses

Run by our experienced Senior Trainers, we offer impactful and practical sessions that help students apply the skills directly in their daily lives by sharing real world examples, case studies, personal experiences and tools that can be applied at home, at school, during activities or with friends and family. 

Workshops are not pre-recorded, but delivered live. Our Senior Trainers interact constantly with the students for maximum engagement

Practical application of the skills and online discussion

To help digest and train these leadership skills, students will be given a practical task at the end of each session. These tasks are designed to be applied in real world scenarios, with family and friends. Students can also ask questions and share reflections on their practical tasks via our private Discussion Board, and will also get direct feedback from our Senior Trainers.

Personalised feedback, Personal Action Plans and Certificate of completion

During evaluation sessions and through our Discussion Board our staff provide students with direct feedback for repeated application of the learned skills. As part of the course, students work on their Personal Action Plans where they select the skills most beneficial to them and come up with a plan on how to develop them further, receiving personal feedback from our Trainers.
