MASTER STRUCTURE

The course is divided into 5 days of  training (4 days in the classroom + 2 half-day live webinars) with certified instructors. The Master consists of:

• A classroom training phase and live webinar sessions

• An individual study phase with distance support for instructors

• Simulation of the exam with discussion of the results

• An online part, in English, consisting of:

- A self-assessment module to identify ex-ante areas of knowledge to improve.

- A multiple choice question module to verify your degree of learning during the CSCP training program.

Strong interactivity, coupled with exchanging personal experiences, enables participants to enrich their knowledge and address the problems they face from their companies. 
The course, text books (with online part) and final exam are all in English. Good knowledge of English is therefore required. However, for in house classes, Advance can arrange the language of choice but books and exams are always in English. The lessons are midweek (Mon-Fri).

Only one final exam is required for the CSCP certification.
