1. Face-to-Face, live, in person
  2. Distance Learning (web online) Synchronously/live
  3. Distance Learning (web online) Asynchronously
  4. Blended/Hybrid
  5. Synchronous/live
  6. Asynchronous/online
  • all 35 certificates


  • same time, same place; live

 

  • at the cohort classroom location or any geography supported by GIIM

 

  • typically, 40 hours of class lectures per course (160 hours for the 4-course certificate); flexible schedules 

 

  • these programs are scalable/flexible based on the target audience

 

  • graded Certificate courses require candidates to prepare a comprehensive paper that applies the content of the course to the candidates' job or career aspiration

Four Online Models

described below:

2. Synchronous/Live Online

  • all 35 certificates


  • same time, different place; also referred to as live, online real time


  • like 1 above/face-to-face, but online using WebEx, Go To Meeting, Zoom, Adobe Connect, affiliate system, etc.


  • typically 40 hours per course (160 hours for the 4-course certificate); schedule to be determined; usually twenty (20) 2-hour modules


  • graded Certificate courses require candidates to prepare a comprehensive paper that applies the content of the course to the candidates job or career aspiration
  • the most popular certificates


  • any time, any place; self-paced


  • uses GIIMs Cloud via the SAP Litmos Learning Management System


  • 30 1-hour modules/lectures; 30 hours per course (120 hours for the 4-course certificate); some courses are a bit longer, others a bit shorter


  • graded Certificate courses require candidates to pass a multiple choice examination at the end of each course 

We encourage supplementing the 30+ hours of asynchronous online lectures presented by GIIM subject matter experts/faculty with one of GIIMs two blended/hybrid models facilitated by GIIM or local faculty using 1 of 2 Blended/Hybrid Models:


a. Synchronous/live

b. Asynchronous/online

  • the 6 most popular certificates


  • combination of asynchronous web and synchronous/face-to-face


  • supplements the GIIM asynchronous web (3 above) with GIIM faculty (or local faculty prepared by GIIM) to facilitate/mentor/advise synchronous (face-to-face or online) class discussions & projects


  • we suggest supplementing the 30-hours of asynchronous online with 10-hours (five 2-hour meetings; live) of synchronous classes


  • GIIM also offers an innovative completely self-paced asynchronous online blended model


  • Graded blended Certificate courses require candidates to prepare a comprehensive paper that applies the content of the course to the candidates' job or career aspiration.

Local faculty (non-GIIM faculty prepared by GIIM) are often used for the blended/hybrid delivery model when it is not cost effective to use GIIM faculty. 

  • GIIM works with its affiliates (e.g., organizations, universities, management associations) to develop a delivery model that is competitive in the marketplace and fits their digital management education strategy, objectives, culture, requirements, and capabilities.



  • All 35 Certificates are available synchronously/live (face-to-face and online).



  • Each course (within the 4-course certificate) can be delivered globally
  • for IT & non-IT executives from entry level to C level
  • taught by an international team of over 300 prominent academics & executives
  • is scalable
