Programme Content

The part-time study certificate programme runs annually from September till March. Taught through German, it consists of six modules taught Friday afternoons from 1pm and all day Saturday until 7pm. You will be awarded with a certificate upon completion.
The training programme covers three levels:

1. Expertise
2. Self-reflection
3. Strategic-political competence

Content is taught via expert presentations, group and individual coaching as well as specific training units. Informal evening chats with current acting supervisory and advisory board members provide insights into accessing regulatory bodies. This peek behind the scenes of working on a committee is held on Friday evenings.
