Frequently asked question

Everything you need to know about programme delivery, cohort sizes and private training for your organisation.

Who are GAA Academy programmes designed for?
GAA Academy programmes are designed for experienced professionals, senior executives, board members and specialist teams dealing with complex business and investment decisions.

Each programme sets out its intended audience and any relevant prior knowledge. Where you are considering places for a team, we can help assess whether the programme is appropriate for the participants you have in mind.
Can several colleagues attend the same programme?
Yes. Organisations can enrol multiple participants in an open programme or arrange a private cohort where broader participation or a shared learning experience would be more useful.

If you are considering a programme for several colleagues, contact us to discuss the most appropriate format.
What does the programme fee include?
The programme page sets out exactly what is included. Depending on the programme, this may include live sessions, programme materials, practical tools and templates, case work, and follow-up workshops or discussions.

There are no additional fees unless clearly stated.
Can you support our internal approval or procurement process?
Yes. We can provide programme information, facilitator details, pricing and other documentation required for internal approval or procurement.

For organisational bookings, please contact us with your requirements.
Can you accommodate participants across different time zones?
Yes. GAA works with clients and professionals across the globe, and we schedule programmes to accommodate participants in different regions.

Programmes can be arranged at times convenient for Europe and Africa, the Americas, or Asia-Pacific (APAC). For private programmes, we can agree timings around the location and availability of your team.
