CfA courseware is intended to be flexible enough to be easily customised or repackaged for different audiences by our in-country staff trainers or university partners.

Conceptualising and designing master curricula, in consultation with CfA programme teams and external domain experts, for modular, task-driven experiential courses that function as both self-directed e-learning and as in-person courseware of instructors.

Cultivate and manage a pool of thematic experts that CfA can call upon to co-author courses and/or present flagship classes.
Working closely with trainers and subject matter experts to ensure that training materials are accurate, engaging, and effective
Proactively measure user experience and participant trends/feedback to improve the quality and effectiveness of CfA courseware.
