Learning Approach
Each lesson is delivered through three complementary components:

The Book – written learning material in PDF format
The Quiz – a multiple-choice evaluation test
This blended format ensures accessible, engaging, and measurable learning outcomes.
Structure and Recognition
The program consists of 14 lessons completed over 14 weeks and is offered in two series per academic year.
Upon successful completion, participants are awarded the CISM Executive Course Badge and Certificate, presented annually during the CISM General Assembly & Congress.
