Professionals have multiple options for funding.

1. Sponsored by employer

2. Self-funded: Based on our experience of enabling 10,000+ professionals who have participated in our executive programs, self-funding is the most preferred option, with over 80% choosing this.

3. Three key reasons why professionals opt for it:

• Freedom: To opt for a programme of their choice, at a time of their choice, with an institution of their choice and not be restrained by the organization’s policy.
• Flexibility: To pursue greater career opportunities beyond their current employer or nurture their entrepreneurial ambitions.
• Funding: Access to flexible EMI schemes

We have also observed that the commitment levels were higher among self-funding participants.
