CTO Academy Reviews 170

Overall a brilliant course that covers a wide range of topics from personal growth, management topics, finance, board level and investor relations, and of course technology. The lecturers come from a diverse range of industry, and include founders, CTOs, CIOs, Lawyers, consultants, and more. The focus is real world breadth over depth, and the breadth focus helps to really define the many and varied facets of being a CTO, and this is why it is definitely more professional development that deep academia. Andrew and the other staff are always very helpful and friendly too.

One of the highlights of the program was the real world applicability and engagement as well as actionable insights and and measurable improvements in team focus and leadership fundamentals.
A special thank you to the leadership team at CTO Academy, the authenticity and passion you bring to coaching create an environment of trust and mutual respect, allowing students to embrace challenges and innovate with confidence; and through your personalized feedback and unwavering support, you nurture talent, build accountability, and inspire ongoing development—making a measurable impact on both individual careers and our collective success. Thank you. Highly recommend this MBA programme.

An exceptional course for technology leaders seeking to expand their strategic vision and drive impactful change.
Delivered by a highly experienced lecturer with real-world insights, this program goes beyond theory—challenging participants to cultivate thought leadership, embrace a growth mindset, and align technology strategy with business value. The structured curriculum and practical examples empower leaders to elevate their influence and deliver measurable outcomes in the organizations they serve.

CTO Academy is a fantastic and cost-effective resource for tech leaders. The Digital MBA program exceeded my expectations around content, flexibility, and overall value. I took an accelerated learning path because 1) the content was truly interesting and fun and 2) I could apply what I was learning immediately in my current role and with building career opportunities. I was also able to provide 5 seats to the Future Leaders course to my team for free.

Spending several thousand euros and a few months on an online training isn’t something one does lightly -- there are plenty of ways such a long journey could disappoint.
Nothing like that happened with CTO Academy.

Andrew, Jason, and the team have done a monumental job assembling a thorough, well-structured and up-to-date curriculum that truly covers everything a CTO needs to know. Many lectures (especially on legal and financial topics that most CTOs seldom dive into) -- gave me a much more complete view of what it means to be a senior technical leader. I absolutely loved the war stories from Gus!

The community around CTO Academy is also thriving and full of genuinely motivated people. I haven’t seen any random participants -- everyone is engaged, helpful, and eager to share. There’s a lively social side too, with great discussions, panels, and one-off lectures.

Overall, I’m a happy customer -- I wish all my investments turned out this successful and enjoyable. Well done, CTO Academy!

I've been fortunate enough to complete a number of training courses aimed at leadership, technology and business skills.
I wanted to study a course specifically for technology leaderships and either fill in gaps in my own knowledge or add to what I already knew.
CTO Academy offered a great product which ticks all of those boxes and is continually improving over time, regularly taken onboard feedback to ensure it maintains best in class status.
Thank you to all involved over the past year.

I have been in tech for almost 30 years and have multiple certifications done along the way, including MS, Cisco, AWS. This was certainly one of the better laid out programs I've done with lots of variety, learning, and structure. A shout out to Andrew and Jason for providing such an amazing and immersive program.

Great content which help havigates in CTO role and prevent many errors. Worth every penny!

Well planned curriculum with lectures from Industry experts.

Structure and content of the courses are just great.

A wonderful program tailored for working professionals in the IT field.
What sets it apart is its flexibility and the breadth of content, all delivered by seasoned experts who truly understand the complexities of our industry. I was able to immediately apply insights from the courses to real-world challenges I was facing in the business, which made the learning experience incredibly impactful. The cherry on top are the community sessions (which may be difficult to attend at times) that allow us to connect and interact with peers and experts.
I highly recommend this program to any IT leader looking to grow strategically and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.

The course covered all of the topics that are pertinent to becoming a great CTO. 'It's not about the tech' is a theme that ran through the entire thing. The lectures were great and the additional information is a gold mine of further reading which I'll be using to improve further as I go. Highly recommended!

CTO Academy provided me with the much needed knowledge and support to grow within my role. going through the digital MBA provided me with the perfect balance of time and structure to complete the course while not feeling burdened or pushed to quickly.

Knowing I had gaps in my knowledge, I decided to enrol in an MBA programme that closely aligned with my line of work. Although I have never considered myself particularly academic, I was eager to develop my skills and broaden my understanding.

The courses have been both enjoyable and insightful, providing many lightbulb moments that have deepened my understanding of my career and clarified the direction I need to take. The content is relevant, practical, and directly applicable to my professional life.

The lecturers are excellent, highly knowledgeable and engaging, and I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of them through meetings organised by CTO Academy, which has added a valuable personal connection to the learning experience.

Great course with lots of content. Team were very supportive too.

Would recommend to anyone looking to progress their career in the technology space

A thoughtfully designed and well-structured course.
The progression from one topic to the next feels natural and intuitive, offering a seamless learning experience. It provides a strong, holistic perspective that is essential for anyone transitioning into a senior role. I particularly appreciated how the course goes beyond the technical aspects to also cover foundational financial concepts—an often overlooked but critical area.

Overall, it’s an excellent investment of time and money.
Thank you to everyone involved for the effort and expertise that clearly went into creating this course.

Beautifully crafted course. Excellent flow from one topic to another. Gives a good holistic view one needs to have when moving into a senior role. Covers not only technical part but also touches upon the fundamental of finance which is very critical. In short worth every penny. Thank You for the effort Ladies and Gentlemen

A worthwhile investment in your future! The course is well put together and covers the ground a modern CTO needs to navigate as a business operator.

This was a very good experience. I really appreciated the concise and application information that was taught, a lot of which I was able to apply successfully to current project.
