No, there are no specific training or exam requirements to attend one of our four programs. Some participants have a long higher education, and others are “autodidacts” – but they may have, on the other hand, an extensive practical experience. Common to the participants, however, is that they have some years of experience as managers.

What level should my English be?
Since English is a common language at all programs, you must be able to understand English at business level, both in writing and speaking, and formulate yourself in English.
It is, however, very important to be aware that both participants and, not least, professors and teachers represent a large number of countries and therefore everyone “has their own accent”. It is in no way necessary to be “perfect” in English or American pronunciation – together we always find a way to educational communicate and help each other.
Who provides flight tickets?
You have to make sure you book flights to all modules on the programme. However, we usually recommend a number of flight times, which often fit well with the individual program start.

Hotel and Catering – How does it work?
At all programs and on all modules of these, we make sure to book hotel and catering for you. Accommodation will always be near Campus, so there is a short transport route to Campus. You will also always stay with the other participants of the program.

“The professors were nothing short of outstanding, and my wishes, demands, and expectations were fully met. The level of the other participants was high, and the mix of our backgrounds was excellent. People were very generous with their contributions, highly interested, and active, creating an environment of openness and trust that provided an excellent foundation for many exciting and rewarding discussions. Additionally, the experience of being in an international campus environment was truly a professional treat.”
