Course overview
In a male dominated industry, such as sport, it is common that the needs of women can be overlooked. Designed specifically for aspiring and existing female leaders in the field of sports management, this course seeks to address this imbalance by focussing exclusively on women's experiences in sport. This self-guided course provides female delegates with the skills required to operate effectively in the sports industry. Using a series of contemporary case studies, the course provides a range of opportunities to analyse situations that affect women in sport on a daily basis.
Designed in partnership with Aula Magna Business School, this course is designed for women who are ambitious to grow their understanding of the sports management field and make an impact within the global sports industry.
- Delegates who successfully complete the course will be awarded a certificate of completion from the Global Institute of Sport and Aula Magna Business School.
This course takes roughly 60 hours to complete, is self-paced and 100% online.
I can't say enough about the knowledge and experience I gained from attending the Executive Development Programme. The cohort was a great balance for me, as it gave me time to study at my own pace.
