Our live online courses are delivered in an interactive virtual classroom format that involves participants engaging in real-time exercises and smaller group interactions with fellow participants and trained facilitators and coaches. Our moderated online leadership courses allow participants to learn at their own pace and are not delivered in a live format, but rather asynchronously. However, participants still get access to a CCL leadership expert and a network of fellow participants to further enhance the learning experience.

Our online leadership programs are delivered in a variety of formats. Some are offered live online, some are moderated online, and others are in a self-directed and self-paced format. Live online virtual programs are delivered in an interactive virtual classroom where participants learn and engage with one another in real time.

Our self-directed online leadership courses and tools enable participants to learn completely at their own pace, no matter where they are located.

While there’s no one online program that’s better than the rest, each of our trainings are designed for different leader levels and needs.

Explore The Leading Strategically Experience, designed to enhance strategic thinking and broaden perspectives for senior leaders.
