A small number of bursary places are available for up to 2 CEO’s to access the course half price. Apply quickly to secure a bursary place. We prioritise these places for leaders from less represented groups in leadership (women, black, Asian, LGBTQI, or any other global majority leaders living in the UK, or those from backgrounds where they have had limited opportunity to grow, for example, as a result of being a single parent, coming from a working class background or poverty).
