Support & Coaching Structure

In addition to the 10 training days, participants receive structured support throughout their development journey:

• Group Progress Sessions (2 sessions): Small group conversations (4-5 participants) after Modules 2 and 4 to share implementation experiences and problem-solve together
• Individual Check-In (Mid-Program): 30-45 minute one-on-one conversation after Module 3 to review progress, address challenges, and adjust development focus
• Value Demonstration Review: 30-minute individual conversation after Module 5 where participants present evidence of capability development and business impact
• Cohort Support Network: WhatsApp/Telegram group for peer support, micro-learning content, and cohort connection between modules

This program uses continuous assessment focused on real workplace application — not exams or theory tests.
