We deliver a personalised learning experience. A maximum of 22 participants - to ensure the quality of your learning however, exceptions can be made in specific circumstances.

All Executive Education short courses are facilitated by UQ academics and/or Industry Experts who combine in-depth topic knowledge with industry experience. Our facilitators deliver highly engaging, interactive, activity-based workshops proven to result in high levels of learning.

Blended programs offer a ‘Flipped Learning’ approach, whereby participants are provided with a series of online learning modules (equivalent to approximately one day of learning) prior to their two-day face-to-face workshops. The face-to-face component is where you’ll gain collaboration with others and learn to apply your learnings.

• Participants gain a fundamental understanding of the topic, preparing them more fully for their face-to-face session(s)
• Participants have significantly more flexibility in regard to the way they learn
• Participants can ‘self-pace’ the online element of their learning
• Participants can access modules to repeat or refresh learning (before and after their face-to-face workshops)
• Participants’ progress can be monitored and, where required, support can be provided
• Participant responses and activity during the online portion of the workshop informs our facilitators on the specific needs of workshops participants so that the face-to-face component can be crafted to ensure they address specific capability development needs.

Some programs have an assessment components, however, completing the assessment isn’t essential (unless required by a participant’s employer).

All participants who complete a workshop will receive a Certificate of Completion. Please note that our workshops are for professional development purposes only and not affiliated to any accreditation body.

We will attempt to accommodate your dietary requirements where possible. Please advise the Executive Education team at your earlier convenience.

Our workshops are held throughout the week (Monday to Friday) and typically run from 9:00am to 5:00pm unless otherwise arranged. We recommend you arrive 15-minutes early to allow time for registrations. If you are running late, please call the Executive Education team on (07) 3346 7111.

In-house custom workshops can be delivered at the City location or an appropriate alternative site (as specified by yourself), although the cost of an external venue is not included in the program fees.

We would love to work with you on a proposal. Please get in touch with the Executive Education team.

• Pricing is per-day and includes up to 22 participants (each participant over 11 further reduces the ‘per-head-cost’).
• Free workshop delivery at the UQ Brisbane City location (catering is not included in this cost).
• Contextualisation of the workshop to the specific needs of the group by a UQ subject matter expert.
• A wider range of topics. Essentially, any business or leadership topic can be delivered, although some topics may require significant design and development work, which attracts additional fees.

This depends on a variety of factors, including the topic, the level of workshop design and development required, the delivery location, the number of days of delivery. Please contact the Executive Education team for a full quote.

If you’re interested in organising a custom workshop for a group of between 10 and 20 employees and have a budget of approx. 10k (ex GST) per day, you may qualify for a custom workshop. However, we can deliver custom workshops to smaller cohorts with the caveat that this can negatively impact on price per head, participant engagement/interaction, and/or learning outcomes. 

• Existing Topic – Approximately 6 to 8 weeks’ notice, but this can be expedited if circumstances allow.
• Brand new program – More work and time is required when creating a new program than the 6-8 weeks required for an existing topic. We require time to conduct a capability/skills-needs analysis (if requested), as well as to study and appreciate the client’s company context, culture, strategy, and challenges in order to effectively design and develop the custom program. As a result, precise pricing requires consultation with (and a proposal from) an Industry Engagement Manager.

The program can be delivered to you as a one-off capability building opportunity. However, we encourage continuing a partnership focused on the ongoing capability development of your workforce to increase employee engagement and productivity, as well as the profitability and overall success of your organisation.
