We make five promises to you…
1. Your leap forward = our reward
- We give you the knowledge, tools and mindset to challenge the status quo.

2. Your future needs = our starting point
- You explore the real challenges your company is facing. You dream big, challenge the status quo, discover a world of opportunities and experiment with new skills.
- Learning has most impact when you learn about yourself too. And to make results tangible, your starting point will be concrete, relevant and personal – based on the real-life challenges currently facing your organisation, a 360° scan of your own strengths and weaknesses, a recent survey, an in-company project and more.
- We build on your past experiences and current situation to give you the tools and confidence to take the next steps in your professional development – giving you a tangible return on your investment.
- You choose the learning approach that best suits you. It could be 100% online and self-paced, a blend of on campus and online learning. Or it could be 100% on campus
3. Your learning = always active

4. Your Vlerick network = a community for life
- You join a diverse group who’ll share their experience and support you every step of the way – and become important friends and business contacts throughout your professional life.
