Graduate Executive Certificate in Management

What is the ECM?

The Executive Certificate in Management (ECM) targets the educational needs of prominent industries in Armenia that acknowledge the imperative of building strong management teams in order to be able to capitalize on opportunities suggested by local and international dynamics in this sphere. The Program is based on a needs assessment of several key industries in Armenia. Like most companies with unique competencies that are on a growth pattern, a lot of companies in Armenia have a model of promoting internal human resources into managerial positions (rather than attracting managerial personnel from outside). Not surprisingly, employees with high technical capabilities often lack soft skills. The Certificate aims to help graduates prepare for their career advancement through developing skills essential for managerial-level positions.

ECM is comprised of 4 x 3-credit courses (12 credits in total), over two semesters (30 weeks). Classroom teaching will be intensive with two 3-hr-45-min modules per day, yet students will lock only one weekend per month in their schedules (alternating 2-day and 3-day weekends every next month).
