Great course!

What a great course and learning experience! It had been a few years since I had focussed on my own development and was looking for a course which would allow me to refresh on some core skills but also learn new skills as a tech leader. I found the Digital MBA for Technology Leaders course really well-structured and engaging. The big positive for me was that I was able to fit the lectures round my work commitments, the lectures are relatively short and well delivered and there are lots of good additional materials to read up on as needed. The CTO Academy have a great team on hand to provide support and there is also an active slack community where members can interact with their peers and the Academy team.

Highly recommend !

Awesome educational experience

What an awesome educational experience! I earned my Digital MBA on a fast-track and within a year! CTO Academy approach to training was very effective, and the expertise in the subject matter was evident. The instructors were able to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand, and encouraged participation, which made the sessions interactive and content easy to absorb.

At the time of me signing up for CTO…

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 CTOA team ROCK!

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.

You definitely rock as well ... hoping to see you on many more in the future. Good luck.

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

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 well designed and practical program

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.

Game-Changing! The Digital MBA @ 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.

Overall, an exceptional learning experience!

I've just finished the CTO Academy Digital MBA course and I’m incredibly happy with the whole experience.

The program offered great insights and teachings on strategic technical leadership which are crucial for any aspiring or current CTO. The lecturers on the course were all experienced in this area and provided excellent material and practical guidance in a clear and concise manner.

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.
