Common Questions for our Adult & Executive Programs<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>
\t\t\t

Does this program count towards professional accreditation?<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

\t\t\t

While this program is not formally tied to specific credentialing bodies, it is designed with professional development in mind. Many past participants have used their experience here to support continuing education credits, leadership training hours, or as part of a portfolio for organizational learning. If you require documentation for CEUs or similar, we\u2019re happy to provide participation certificates and a detailed breakdown of learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t

How will flights work?<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

\t\t\t
\n

For over 20 years we’ve worked with Global Vision Travel – they have great relationships with the airlines, and are adept at building smart itineraries that factor for more than 40 years of experience.\u00a0 Participants are responsible for paying for their own international flights through Global Vision Travel, and we encourage participants to try and fly together.\u00a0 Coach, business, and first class fares are all possible depending on each participant’s budget.\u00a0 We provide detailed guidance on recommended arrival and departure times, airport information, and local transit options. Once you arrive at the designated airport, our team will handle group transportation to and from the program location.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t

How much time will I have every day for work?<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

\t\t\t
\n
\n

The program is immersive, but we understand many professionals need time to stay connected. Most days include designated windows of 1\u20132 hours for personal or work time, with reliable internet access. We encourage participants to set expectations with their teams before travel so they can be as present as possible during the core programming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Will I be able to opt out of activities?<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>
