Bridge to the e-MBA

Principle: a module validated in an Executive Impact Certificate is recognized when it is equivalent to a module of the chosen e-MBA. Participants do not have to retake it. Holders of a certificate without an equivalent module benefit from facilitated admission to the e-MBA.

  • Recommended e-MBA: Leadership & Innovation for Africa
  • Recognized modules: 2 modules (modules 5 and 6)
