To protect the environment, we have replaced the hard copy of the programme application form with an electronic version. Please contact CEIBS customer service teams in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen for the electronic version.

• They are open enrolment programmes and company specific programmes.
• Click here for details of open programmes.
• If your company is interested in company specific programmes (in-house programmes), please click here for details or to contact the CSP team for company specific programmes.

• Applicants can apply for the programme in either of the following two ways: 
  • Online application: Please visit the CEIBS Executive Education website, then select the programme you want to take and click “Apply Now” to apply for the programme; or 
  • Submit application form via e-mail: Please contact the CEIBS Customer Service Team to request the electronic version of the application. After completing the form, please e-mail it to the team at exed@ceibs.edu.
• Applications are reviewed as they arrive and admissions are subject to the final confirmation of CEIBS. Applications are requested at least 20 days before the programme start date. Any applications received after that date will be considered on the basis of space availability. For more information, please contact our Customer Service Team in Shanghai, Beijing or Shenzhen.
• Once the application is accepted, an Executive Education Programme Confirmation and Payment Advice will be sent to the participant.
• Programme fee should be paid 15 days or more prior to the programme start date. Immediate payment is required in cases where an application is received within 15 days of the programme start date. The fee covers tuition, lunches, teaching materials, stationery, other course materials and interpretation and translation fees if required. The invoice for the programme fee will be provided individually to participants during the programme. 
• Cancellations or changes in programme registration may be made without penalty if made at least 15 days before the start of the programme. If a confirmed booking is cancelled within 15 days of the start of the programme, or if the applicant fails to attend the programme, a cancellation fee equal to 20 percent of the total programme fee will be charged. When a request to substitute participant(s) for the same programme is made fewer than 15 days before the start of the programme, the seat(s) cannot be guaranteed. If an applicant is unable to attend the programme, the applicant may transfer to a different session of the same programme or another CEIBS Executive Education programme within the same calendar year, but must pay any difference in fees between the two programmes. All changes and cancellations are subject to the final confirmation of CEIBS.

Note: Application procedures may differ for different multi-module programmes. Please refer to the webpages for introduction of each multi-module programme.

CEIBS Executive Education programmes often last for 3 to 5 days on end and include lectures, case discussions, group presentations, business simulations, or other activities. The participants will face great challenges to their energy and focus during programmes. Inadequate mental and academic preparation may cause difficulties in understanding the essence of the professors’ lectures and getting actively involved in class discussions. We suggest that participants advise colleagues in advance that they may not be able to respond to phone calls and e-mails during the programme.

For both companies selecting participants and for individual managers being selected, participation in CEIBS programmes represents a significant investment. Participants who are unable to fully dedicate themselves to the programme because of continued work-related duties during the course may not achieve all of the expected benefits of the training.

Most professors prepare pre-reading materials for the participants that include cases and extensive reading materials. CEIBS programme coordinators will mail the materials to the participants several weeks in advance. All participants are required to carefully read the materials beforehand; otherwise, group discussions and class discussions can hardly proceed given the limited time that professors allocate for reading cases in class.

• Carefully read the pre-reading materials (if any) in advance and bring them with you.
• Carefully read the Logistics Guide and Reply Sheet; it will be sent to you by the programme coordinator about two weeks prior to the programme’s start date.
• Bring your business cards with you.

The daily schedule is as follows.

First session         09:00-10:30
Morning tea         10:30-10:45
Second session    10:45-12:30
Lunch                  12:30-14:00
Third session        14:00-15:30
Afternoon tea       15:30-15:45
Fourth session      15:45-17:30

Notes:

The schedule may change as required by professors, and the arrangement of the evening session will depend on individual programme requirements.
For any participant who has special dietary requirements, please inform the programme coordinator for special arrangements.
