METHODOLOGY: We leverage on the channels we champion. We start each module with a half-day face-to-face session and end with another half-day summary session as a venue for consultation, project presentations and networking. In between the face-to-face sessions, participants will have 2 weeks where they can use our online learning platform while being coached by an online facilitator.  The online course content, forums and activities can be taken anywhere and anytime.  We recommend that participants dedicate of at least four hours a week to the online coursework. For example, participants can read course content emailed to them daily as part of their regular routine and then go online to finish their assigned coursework during the weekend.


VENUE: Face-to-face sessions will take place at the Ateneo Professional School Mini Amphitheater Rockwell Center, Makati City for the face-to-face sessions. Participants have the option to take this course purely online by request. This requires close coordination with online facilitator to secure learning output, as well as, strict monitoring of the number of hours spent on the online learning platform before a certificate of completion is issued.
