Each module is preceded by a set of compulsory readings relevant to its subjects: the knowledge from the readings will be tested through an individual on-line questionnaire to be answered prior to the start of the module.

During the module, there will be at least one individual and group assignments.

At the end of the module, the knowledge will be tested through an individual online examination to be answered before the start of the next module.

Certificate of Advanced Studies

Although not entirely within the holistic spirit of the E-MBA, SSHE is certified to grant Certificates of Advanced Studies.

Therefore, it is possible for students to select and attend only one block from the E-MBA and qualify for the Certificate.

The knowledge evaluation will follow the same principles as the full E-MBA learning process. No waivers, however, will be allowed.
