You strongly believe that this accelerator program will provide invaluable skills that will not only enhance your overall job performance but will make you an even better colleague and manager.

What happens if I miss a workshop session?

All our sessions are recorded so will be available on demand after the workshop has finished. We will also send any supporting workshop material to you. Your facilitator will be available for any questions in between workshops.

Will I be able to access all the content once the program is over?

Yes, you will be asked to download the workbook at the start of the program. This contains all the information you need to complete the course content and is also available for you to work through at your own pace. You will also get 3 month membership to our platform, which gives you unlimited access to the academy and all the additional content for 3 months. You can therefore access this content at your leisure.

Can I cancel once I have started on the program?

Unfortunately, once you have started the program you will be unable to cancel. We expect places to fill up quickly, so we advise making sure you are 100% committed to completing the program.

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes, all the sessions are recorded to allow those who weren’t able to attend the live session to access the workshops at a later date. Additionally, this allows you to go back and review sessions which allows you to focus on the workshops and not feel the pressure of frantically writing notes. We have found this enables our attendees to engage and participate more. The recordings also help our facilitators with planning and evaluation of the group’s process.

Will any of the facilitators be available to contact and ask questions, outside of the workshop sessions?

Our facilitators will be on hand in between sessions through our private WhatsApp group.
