Frequently asked questions
If you do not find your answer here, reach us directly.
How do cohorts differ from self-paced courses?
Cohorts run on a fixed schedule with live workshops, curated peer groups, and instructor feedback. Self-paced courses include the same core curriculum without synchronous sessions—ideal for flexible calendars.
Do you offer certificates?
Yes. Upon completion and assessment, you’ll receive a digital certificate from GrandMeadow Strategy you can share with your team and on professional networks.
What is the expected weekly time commitment?
Most learners spend 3–5 hours per week. Live cohort sessions are 90 minutes, with additional time for exercises and peer review.
Are there refunds?
For self-paced courses, we offer a 7-day refund if you have not completed more than 20% of the content. Cohort seats can be transferred to a colleague up to 5 days before the start date.
Can my company sponsor a private cohort?
Yes. We run private cohorts for intact teams and business units with tailored case work and scheduling. Contact us for scope and pricing.
What level should I start with?
If you are new to structured strategy work, start with Strategy Fundamentals. Operators with 3–5 years experience usually select Intermediate courses in growth, pricing, or positioning.
Do courses include templates and tools?
Every course includes downloadable worksheets, facilitation guides, and checklists you can use with your team immediately.
How are instructors selected?
We recruit operators with a documented track record of outcomes. Teaching ability is vetted through sample workshops and content reviews by our editorial board.
Which payment methods are accepted?
We accept major credit cards and company purchase orders for enterprise programs.
