Programme Format & Learning Experience

The programme includes in-person workshops held in Athens , offering a valuable opportunity for face-to-face networking and collaboration with fellow senior finance leaders .

1. Participants may join all sessions and workshops remotely if preferred.
2. All workshops are recorded and shared with participants in case of unavoidable professional commitments.
3. With a streamlined learning journey requiring only 100–120 hours on average (depending on knowledge gaps relative to the Strategic level of the CIMA Qualification), the programme is designed to fit around demanding leadership roles.
