The content of the programme is excellently structured and covers all important aspects of digital transformation and leadership. The modules offer in-depth insights into strategic thinking, innovation management and modern technologies that are directly applicable to practice.

I was particularly impressed by the expertise of the lecturers. Their practical examples and in-depth knowledge made learning not only effective but also inspiring. In addition, the support from the CTO Academy community and network was invaluable.

Thanks to this programme, I feel well prepared to drive digital innovation in my company and achieve sustainable success. I can recommend the CTO Academy and the Digital MBA for Technology Leaders programme to anyone who wants to take their career in technology to the next level.

Many thanks to the entire CTO Academy team for this great learning journey!

At the time of me signing up for CTO Academy. I was in a Senior Leadership position managing multiple teams in various tech disciplines. I knew there were some gaps in my knowledge that I wanted to fill and decided that a CTO course would be the best course of action to take to best prepare me for the role. I had researched a few options and after meeting with Andrew one on one, made the call that CTO Academy was the right path for me. The course as well as all of the lecturers exceeded my expectations. The course not only taught me lessons that will help me to be successful in the future, it also affirmed my current knowledge giving me the confidence that I knew what I was doing in my day job. The community is also something that I didn’t expect when I first signed up. It’s daily that the community at CTO Academy are interacting with each other in Slack helping out with problems, job openings, or celebrating wins. This to me sets this group apart from others and ultimately will lead to high impact in members careers and day to day lives. Thank you to Andrew, Jason, and the rest of the CTO Academy team for an amazing course.

The CTO Academy MBA program's curriculum was exactly what I needed and fully met my expectations. It provided me with the comprehensive knowledge required to excel as a Chief Technology Officer. Additionally, Andrew and the staff were highly engaged, fostering a supportive and collaborative community.

The CTOA team, the Digital MBA course, the platform, and every benefit that one gets as a member are incredible.

I have made some good friends, found like-minded colleagues, and had some thought-provoking conversations, panels and sessions.

If you are a seasoned tech leader, or planning to move into a leadership role, I would highly recommend it.

Excellent community and continuously improving content.

Everything you need as an IC who worked they way up to a CTO role in a start-up. As the course tries to cater to all CTO-s, there's some parts of the content that's not going to be very relevant or useful to an individual, but it differs between individuals what they find most useful. The content and membership offering is continuously improving which is another bonus. A definite perk is life-time access to the material - there's a lot of it and being able to circle back later is useful.

A true highlight of CTOA is the community of tech leaders sharing their experience.

Truly inspiring. I had become CTO only a few months before taking this course, so I was probably a perfect candidate. I liked the video based learning and each lesson was backed by plentiful amounts of resources, links and materials to do further learning. I took part in engaging with those on the Slack channel and did a few online meetings but I wish I could’ve attended more, but work and family life got in the way. The CTOA are excellent, honourable, humble and approachable. When you launch Chairman Academy let me know ;-)

A very well designed and practical approach to the Digital MBA program by CTO Academy. Something that is more relatable and closer to the real world to consume and assimilate in the form of learning. I would recommend this course to any technology leaders that are interested especially considering we can do it at our own pace during our busy work life and the content is always available even when updated.

It is also a very affordable program compared to the larger MBA degree programs while giving very useful learning on the go for interested and emerging leaders.

Excellent training program with
* Comprehensive Curriculum
* Expert Faculty
* Blended Learning
* Community Access
* 360º Coverage of technical skills aligned with impactful leadership abilities.

I would highly recommend this "Digital MBA for Technology Leaders" to any CTO looking to elevate their leadership and influence in the tech industry.

Thanks CTO Academy.

I recently finished the Digital MBA for Tech Leaders at CTO Academy, and it was amazing! What makes it really special is the community aspect. They offer monthly sessions and workshops that are super useful. So the learning carries on after graduation!

The course materials were spot on and easy to follow. I could learn at my own pace, which was mostly early in the morning for me. It was a great way to start my day. The lectures were filled with real-life examples from experienced leaders, making the lessons not just theoretical but really practical.

One of the best parts was getting to meet and talk with other people in the course. Whether it was networking sessions or just group discussions, it was comforting to see that others face similar challenges. Sharing ideas and experiences with a diverse group really broadened my perspective and was incredibly valuable.

This course has really changed how I work and interact with my team. I’m applying what I learned daily, and it’s making a big difference.

If you're in tech leadership or aiming to get there, I highly recommend this course. It’s packed with relevant information that you can start using right away.

The curriculum itself didn’t feel overly drawn out or arduous, but found a good balance of providing the essential information via video content and linking to additional material, articles, books, and video content for those who wanted to explore a particular topic further.

I would highly recommend CTO Academy for anyone seeking to advance into technology leadership.

The academy offers a broad range of up-to-date content, covering essential topics such as leadership, technology, finance, and innovation. This comprehensive approach has significantly enhanced my understanding and skills in various areas crucial for a tech leader.

What stands out at CTO Academy is the dedication of its team. Their support extends beyond just organizing training materials. They genuinely care about our learning experience and professional growth. Both Andrew and Jason are brilliant leaders from whom you can learn a great deal.

The networking opportunities provided by the academy, including webinars, peer sessions, and an active Slack channel, have been incredibly valuable. They offer the chance to connect with fellow professionals, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships in the industry.

As someone who is on the path to becoming a CTO, I was constantly searching for the right course to elevate my skills and knowledge. When I discovered CTO Academy's certification program, I knew I had found what I was looking for - an excellent program at an affordable price! This wasn't just another "tech" course; it was a comprehensive program that prepared me for the multifaceted role of a modern CTO.

The curriculum went far beyond the typical technical skillset. Sure, it went deep into cutting-edge trends like AI, Agile methodologies, and Machine Learning, ensuring I stayed ahead of the curve. But what truly impressed me was the equal emphasis on the business side. By tackling finances, budgeting, international business, annual planning, dealing with politics, and collaboration with stakeholder, I gained the critical perspective needed to bridge the gap between tech and business objectives.

This holistic approach made all the difference. At the end of the course, I no longer saw myself as just a "techie" but as a leader capable of building bridges, navigating complex organizational dynamics, and driving strategic decisions. The instructors, lecturers, and experts, some who are seasoned CTOs themselves, shared their valuable insights and experiences, guiding us through real-world scenarios and offering practical advice.

CTO Academy's program wasn't just about acquiring knowledge; it was about applying it. The interactive format, live coaching sessions and events, fostered a dynamic learning environment where we honed our skills and received valuable feedback. By the end, I felt confident not only in my technical expertise but also in my ability to lead, plan, and execute with a business-minded approach.

If you're looking for a CTO certification end education course that goes beyond the basics and equips you with the complete skillset of a modern tech leader, then CTO Academy is for you. It's more than just a course; it's an investment in your future, empowering you to navigate the evolving technological landscape and lead your team towards success.

I started the CTO Academy Digital MBA Course in March 23, and since then have had a great experience.

I'm fairly early in my Tech Leadership career, and would personally describe the course as a mix of the following (in roughly equal measures):
- Lots of useful learnings about concepts I've no experience (budgets, investments, lowcode/nocode, outsourcing, board relations, CIO vs CTO, legal, compliance)
- A good amount of confirmation that I've got the right ideas (delivering successful projects, managing stakeholders, performance management of staff, influence)
- Anecdotal stories which allow you to recognise similarities in your own organisation/approach, and learn from and hear how they tackled the task

Another really useful aspect of the course is the community it provides. Having other Tech Leaders in a Slack group, and with really great monthly engagement in the Zoom calls opens up a whole host of opportunities to network, bounce ideas, and even get some support/feedback from unbiased peers.

Being able to suggest ideas, or start new initiatives with the backing of "Other CTOs have done something similar, and noticed X" or "On the CTO Academy they spoke about how Y can help to achieve Z" can really help give your ideas some accreditation, and even just help you feel more confident in your approach.

For a bit of background, I've been working as part of a growing company, mucking in with customers, management, and leadership for the past few years, just recently promoted to Software Engineering Manager reporting to our CTO. I've managed several teams of varying sizes (2-6) and have around 6 years of line manager experience. People with more experience may find that it's more confirmation, and people with less experience may learn more from the course. But, everyone will learn something, and there's a lot to get from the community that's been built.

I highly recommend CTO Academy to anyone looking to develop their leadership skills.

The structure, content, onboarding, constant presence of the CTO Academy crew, events, and the whole community were excellent.

Thank you, for the amazing journey which I hope has just begun.

My experience with CTO Academy has been overwhelmingly positive.

I've worked in technology for over 25 years, but the business insight and knowledge provided by the MBA course has expanded my understanding of my industry.

An invaluable part of the CTO Academy experience has been the peer group, which has been very supportive. This group offers more than just help with course material; it also provides practical advice and knowledge for everyday use.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. The team, ably lead by Andrew and Jason, are very personable and always ready to help.
