Course Schedule and Content
Schedule
The RTS Mini MBA consists of approximately 80 hours of
learning, spread across 24 distinctive modules.
The first module will open for enrolment on Monday 17th March, with subsequent modules released every Wednesday. This will give participants the chance to learn together, as there’s nothing better than the shared experience of appointment viewing. Each module will take around 2 – 3 hours to complete. If you sign up after Monday 17th March, you will be able to access all modules available to date. The modules must be completed in sequence and finishing one module will unlock the next.
There is a progression bar that tracks your completion percentage. As you will be studying independently, you are responsible for your own progress. You do not need to complete each module in one sitting, and you will be able to log in and out at any time to resume.
