The 27-Week Schedule
Beyond the Blueprint is a sustained commitment designed to integrate with a full-time leadership role.

The Booking Path
We use a structured approach to ensure each cohort is balanced and composed of peers who can effectively challenge and support one another.
Step 1: Application Review. Every application is personally reviewed by Chris and Penny to ensure the programme is a strong fit for your current leadership context.
Step 2: Conditional Offer. If accepted, you will receive a formal offer and an invitation to secure your place.
Step 3: Securing Your Place. Your place is formally held only upon payment of the booking fee.
Step 4: Deduction. This fee is not an additional charge: it is fully deducted from your total programme fee when the cohort is confirmed.
