Frequently Asked Questions About the Full, Fee-Based Course
What’s the nature of the full course?
The course will have a six-week duration and you will be part of a cohort of peer leaders. Cohorts will have a limited size to provide for interactivity as well as personalized attention. Depending on what course tier you choose, you will benefit from:
- Weekly narrated slide decks
- Worksheets to apply what you have learned and to provide for reflection
- Curated readings, podcast episodes and videos
- Four group coaching calls and two ‘drop in’ hours with the coach for Q&A (for those who purchase tier 1 + 2 only)
- Use of cases and scenarios to apply what you have learned
- Instant chatting function for peer support and access to the coach
- Personalized, in-depth coaching support (for those who purchase the highest course tier)
Note that if you choose tier 3, this means your course experience will be 100% self-paced and asynchronous. You will miss out on the group coaching sessions and ‘drop in’ hours. According to participant evaluations for tier 1 + 2, these peer coaching opportunities are highly valued.
How long are the coaching calls and when do they take place?
They will all be scheduled at the same time each week, starting from the week of February 28 through April 8, 2022. For easy scheduling, the exact time will be determined once the composition of each cohort is clear so that we can take the time zones of participants into account.
How much time should I imagine the course will take each week?
You should expect the course to take 2-3 hours of your time each week; of course, as with every learning investment, the more you make use of the learning resources, the more benefit you will gain.
Will the group coaching sessions allow for much interactivity?
Yes, we will use these calls to showcase and practice how virtual meetings need to be interactive in order to be effective and engaging. Moreover, we will engage in peer coaching so you will actively engage with your peers. To have your questions addressed to the maximum extent, you may want to opt for Tier 1, which offers tailored, one on one coaching support.
How will I have opportunities to practice what I've learned?
You will be encouraged to use worksheets and a learning journal to reflect on your application of lessons learned in your teams. You will also sometimes use case studies or scenarios to practice the skills you will have learned.
How will I pay for the full, fee-based course? And what is your cancellation policy?
You can register and pay by credit card for the course via this Teachable platform.

HERE’S WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT TOSCA
Sofia Sprechmann
Secretary General, CARE International
The course was a very special gift at this complex time: because of the relevant reading materials/podcasts selected, because of the exchange with amazing participants, and because of the wisdom and facilitation skills of Tosca Bruno-van Vijfeijken and Ahmed Abdelhakim Hachelaf. They so ably framed the issues that we are all confronted with by working virtually, and proposed solutions that made a difference from the very first day. Deeply grateful for the depth of their experience which they so generously shared.
Enroll now and get this special offer
If you join now, the course will offer an additional bonus of ‘open office hours’ beyond the end of the course, during which course alumni can 'drop in' and seek real-time advice from Tosca and Ahmed as coaches, and from their peers. The coaches will also present up-to-date new content which we then discuss. As a result, you will continue to learn from your coaches as well as your peers!
