Adaptability and flexibility to support you

Once again this year, our training center has shown great adaptability in the face of the Covid crisis. Every effort was made to stay in touch with our participants and train them in the best possible learning conditions.

Skilful and flexible, the Executive Education offered several teaching formats: online, face-to-face or hybrid courses, depending on the possibilities and needs of each individual. Of course, we have implemented this new organization, always in compliance with the health measures taken by the Swiss Confederation.

The creation of an online teaching platform

To continue training you in complete safety, online teaching was an obvious choice. So we created a 100% interactive learning platform.

With redesigned course materials, trained lecturers and an immersive feel, the Horizon room has been designed for 100% online or hybrid learning.

The lecturers were able to adapt their teaching, supervise participants, and lead courses in a participative atmosphere. And all from a distance! We're proud to have created this infrastructure in record time, thanks to our fruitful collaboration with Projection Nouvelle.

The evolution of our diplomas

Since the creation of the training center, our aim has remained unchanged: to be attentive to current challenges and trends, so as to offer you diplomas that make sense.

In 2021, our range of continuing education courses has naturally evolved to include :

  • The creation of CAS Luxury marketing, to help managers create and cultivate a charismatic luxury brand. In parallel, the faculty has also launched the Swiss Center for Luxury Research, a new research center dedicated to luxury management.
  • The reorganization of the former CAS in Strategic & communication, into two new distinct degrees: CAS Digital marketing and CAS Strategic marketing. Each program focuses on specific concepts, for greater clarity.
  • Successful launches of CAS in Change management and CAS Team Management.

Focus: the redesign of our website

Simplified navigation, easier searching, improved loading speed... From both a structural and visual point of view, we have undertaken a complete overhaul of the Executive Education website.

The aim is to respond more precisely to your continuing education needs.

We've also added a blog, to share even more tips and tricks on a wide range of subjects: professional training, our programs, our teaching methods, etc.

The project is ongoing, and will continue into 2021, but we'd love to hear from you!

What are the perspectives for continuing education in 2022?

What's next? For several weeks now, the Executive Education team has been preparing for the start of the 2022 academic year with great enthusiasm.

On the agenda:

  • The creation of a new diploma in project leadership. We know you're looking forward to it, so stay tuned!
  • The updating of our course content, to keep up with developments and news in our program themes.
  • The development of personalized interviews with our future participants, to understand their continuing education project from A to Z. With no obligation and free of charge, this time of exchange is invaluable for getting to know each other and better guiding you.
  • The creation of informative and qualitative content on our blog, to answer all your questions (continuing education, trends, programs, etc.).
  • Improving your user experience, in particular by redesigning our website.

As you can see, the coming year will be all about you, and your real continuing education needs. More than ever, we'll be listening to you to ensure you get the best professional training!

Whether you want to "follow your path", challenge yourself within an organization, or gain access to new professional opportunities, there are many reasons to train.

With the explosion in continuing education, you can develop your professional career throughout your life. Our Executive Education HEC Lausanne training center will help you learn these new skills. What if, in 2022, it was your turn?
