Introduction
ANZSOG is now in the process of moving back from fully online delivery to education programs which include the best elements of both online and face-to-face learning and teaching.
In doing this we continue to prioritise high quality education that meets the needs of our participants and owner governments.
Below is the indicative 2025 schedule for EMPA subjects. It includes teaching dates, locations, and the nature of delivery for each subject (online, face to face or a combination of both). Prospective applicants can draw on this information to plan their participation in the EMPA and estimate the non-tuition costs of enrolment associated with the program (travel, accommodation and time away from office/work in order to attend the teaching sessions).
Please note that in instances of face-to-face teaching, a concurrent online mode of participation is NOT available.
