Frequently asked questions
We have compiled frequently asked questions for you. If your question is not listed, please get in touch with us.
After attending the class sessions, you will receive a certificate of participation.
In addition to attending the class sessions, you will also have the opportunity to solidify the knowledge by applying it in a Personal Effectiveness Paper (PEP). In this paper, you will further develop your vision on a specific topic to make it applicable. The topic must fall within the scope of the masterclass. Business School Netherlands will evaluate the PEP.
Upon achieving satisfactory results, you will receive a certificate for successfully completing the masterclass.
Moreover, MBA students can integrate the masterclass into their programme by incorporating the topic into their dissertation, for example, as a chapter. If you have written a PEP and included the additional focus in the dissertation, you will qualify for a major. This major will be mentioned on your diploma and transcript with a weight of 2.5EC. You will then graduate with 67.5EC instead of 65EC.
As in all our courses, we also establish a direct connection to your own practice during the masterclass. The lessons are interactive, allowing you to scrutinise yourself and your organisation further. Therefore, we expect an open and proactive attitude from all participants.
Typically, once a year, in the spring. If there is sufficient interest, we will schedule an additional group in the autumn.
