The programmes we use to accredit our own practitioners

Not an overview of an industry. Participants normalise real data extracts, build forecasts that are measured against a benchmark, and defend their conclusions to a panel — the same assessment our own team completes.

How the programmes run

Live cohort sessions

Weekly sessions with a recorded backup, delivered by the practitioner who runs that discipline on engagements.

Assignments on real data

Every module ends with a graded assignment worked against a supplied anonymised property extract, or against your own.

Written feedback

Assignments are marked with written feedback, not scored automatically. Faculty see every submission.

Panel-defended capstone

The accredited programmes close with a full diagnostic presented to and questioned by a panel.

Cohort sessions are capped so that every submission is individually reviewed.
Faculty

Practitioners, not trainers

Everyone teaching here is currently running engagements in the discipline they teach. Nobody on this faculty teaches full-time.
