Format

This online course features recorded lectures, readings, discussion forums, quizzes, a course project, and problem sets that let you apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios. It’s designed to be highly practical, ensuring you can put what you learn into practice.

This course is known for its rigor, making it one of our most challenging offerings. If you’re ready to push your limits and dive deep into the subject matter, this course will be a rewarding experience.

You can participate in this course as an independent participant or as part of a site with 5 or more people. Participating as a site group provides a forum for discussing course concepts and applying them to local context and customs. If you are participating independently, the online discussion boards provide a forum for these types of discussion.

Eligibility

Enrollment Fees

You can enroll in this course as part of a registered site group or you can apply as an independent participant.

If part of a site group, your site coordinator will manage your group’s enrollment fee. You may be asked to contribute towards this site fee.

If an independent participant, you will be invoiced based on details and preferences you note in your application. OECD*/LMIC** rates are based on your current location. Invoices are sent soon after the application period is over.

For site groups made up of participants from a high-income country (OECD*), the fee is determined by how many people are in your group. For groups of 16-50 people, the fee is $3500 USD. However, for smaller groups (OECD*), we offer a discounted rate of $300 USD per person.

For site groups made up of participants from a low-middle income country (LMIC**) we further discount the site rate down to $1750 USD for groups of at least 5 people (with a cap of 50 people for this course).

For site groups that may have a mix of both LMIC** and OECD* participants, the fee is based on the LMIC** rate (of $1750 USD) plus $300 USD per OECD* participant. However, if it is more economical, a flat rate of $3500 USD is also an option. Please inquire with us if you have questions about the fees at your site.
