Not An MBA® is one large, flexible course. The programme itself includes 100 modules and to complete it you need to take 80% of the syllabus. You choose the classes you attend, how often you attend and what times. Although, we recommend for those who want to integrate the programme into their daily routine taking one class a week (4 a month - with the basic price plan).

Of course, our Community Managers are always happy to help advise you on sessions. All you need to do is pop them an email or schedule a call.

You can view the entire schedule in the app. And you can see it here, too. To see the full syllabus click here.

We’ve prepared a special page for you which collects everything our students say about us, and all our press coverage in one place. Hopefully you can use this to make an informed decision.

Great question. We only teach things that give you a competitive advantage in the business world. You’ll learn from global industry experts and can add Jolt badges to your LinkedIn profile. 

Being a Jolt member shows you are a self-made person who knows how to learn, develop and stay up to date with the latest industry trends. 

You’ll also meet a lot of amazing peers and other students and enjoy significant networking in the classroom. You’ll meet on average 10 new people each week! Business opportunities will present themselves just you showing up to our unique learning experience!

The Not An MBA® programme was built by an academic committee consisting of 11 of the world’s best business school graduates (Harvard, Stanford, London Business School, etc.) and a business administration professor who headed a US University.

Each Jolt in the Not An MBA® programme is approved by the committee, and put through Jolt’s strict content approval process. Our process includes peer-validation, sourcing and training the Jolters (teachers), editing the content, continuous session-to-session enhancements & creating the exercises/projects - we invest more hours of development per session than any other educational establishment.

You can read more about how we built the programme here.

You’ll meet new people in each class. Our students range from those who work in start-ups, people in high-tech and even those in more traditional industries. There are entrepreneurs, freelancers and employees from all business sizes. 

What every student at Jolt has in common is they’re self-made. They’re not waiting for an opportunity to come to them, they’re going out and getting it themselves. 

Think of all the people you can add to your network in just a couple of months.

It’s like a course, but flexible. There is no set order to take the classes - you can choose to attend the class that suits you when it suits you. 

We make sure all the content in the syllabus is repeated regularly so you never miss out!

To complete the Not an MBA requirements, students need to complete 80% of the programme. The programme offers content units that vary in scope and format, and in the number of points they carry.

Workshop: a 3-hour session teaching a practical tool or skill with a world-class expert. This longer format includes both theory and hands-on practice.

Mini-course: a series of 4 classes dedicated to a particular skill, method or tool. In this format, students sign up for all 4 sessions with the same world-class expert for in-depth learning.

Not technically. We advise coming once a week to integrate your studies into your current routine. The monthly payment entitles you to 4 tickets which is roughly 4 sessions and can be rolled over to the next month. So, if you have a busy month one month you can use you tickets the following month. On the other hand, if you want to complete the programme quicker you can buy extra tickets to speed up your progress!

Yes. You must cancel 3 business days prior to the date of your scheduled monthly payment.

Yes! Once you’ve completed enough classes and gained the required points, you will receive the Jolt Not An MBA® diploma. In addition, every skill required will award you a Jolt badge to add to your LinkedIn profile.

Every unit completed awards you a designated number of points. The number of points will be updated automatically and appear on your timeline in the application so you can easily track and monitor your progress and points balance throughout the programme.  

The programme consists of 100 content modules, in order to complete it you must collect 3,500 points. The flexible schedule allows students to complete all units and collect the points at their own pace, attending regularly once a week or for concentrated study days. For those balancing the programme with work and other commitments, we recommend weekly Jolts, i.e. 4 times a month.

Each month you get four tickets, and at this rate you can finish it in 29 months attending 2-4 classes a month. We allow students to purchase additional tickets in advance so, in theory, it’s possible to finish the programme in a few intensive months.
