Materials

All course materials are provided electronically. After enrolment, you will receive an email from Sydney Executive Plus with all the instructions you need to access the course materials and communications platforms.

There are no prerequisite requirements to take this course.

We’ve designed the final project to draw on the work you complete in your workbook and throughout the modules and to be completed within a week of finishing the sprint. We want you to be able to complete this work individually, and without interrupting your working week.

The final project will become available halfway through the sprint. The project focuses on your own experience and an organisation you work for or with, so you may find yourself so interested that you want to invest more time working on it!
