You will also have access to a learning portal, providing you with exercises and resources to get most of the programme.  

“WHEN puts you and your career at the centre of your thinking, not only in a theoretical sense but in providing you with time to put practical steps in place. It is a building block to make changes and is a wonderfully inspiring way to think about you and your working life with other brilliant women. It is amazing." (Karen McNally, London Metropolitan University).
