How are GAA Academy programmes delivered?
Most GAA Academy programmes are delivered as live online masterclasses. Sessions combine practitioner-led instruction with discussion, case studies and opportunities to explore questions directly with the programme facilitator.
Who delivers the programmes?
Every programme is led by an experienced practitioner with direct professional experience in the subject they teach. Our facilitators advise and work with companies, investors and senior decision-makers. They are practitioners, not career trainers or consultants teaching from theory.
How many participants join each programme?
We intentionally limit the number of participants on each course. Smaller groups create more opportunity for discussion, questions and direct interaction with the programme facilitator and other participants.
Can programmes be delivered in-house for our organisation?
Most programmes can be delivered exclusively for your organisation, either online or in person where appropriate. We can also adapt the emphasis, case studies and discussion to reflect your organisation, team and objectives.
Can you develop a programme around our specific needs?
Our programmes can be shaped around your organisation’s specific needs. Alongside our existing masterclasses, we can develop learning around particular business, investment or professional challenges, aligned with your objectives and the capabilities you want to build.
