What is the difference between this on-demand courses and the live zoom sessions?
The live zoom classes take place on the last Thursday of every month and run as a full day course from 9AM – 4PM WAT, while the on-demand courses can be enrolled for at any time of the day and accessible anywhere in the world, unrestricted by time
zone. Enrolled learners also have access to the course content for a limited period of 6 weeks. The on-demand option is better suited for busy professionals and executives with time constraint and for those in transition to a new role who would need a
longer time to reflect on the course content.

An SA&A CPDSO-Accredited Certificate is issued at the end of the course.
