Community Access includes the full curriculum plus 5 live cohort sessions, a pool of expert facilitators, and a cohort circle. Open Access includes the same curriculum but is fully experienced independently within the cohort period — no live sessions, no facilitators.

Same content, different rhythm. Choose what works best for you!

Yes, if Community seats are still available. You'll pay the membership fee at the time of upgrade. Email us at leadership@weduglobal.org within the first two weeks of the cohort.

All live sessions are recorded and shared with your cohort circle within 24 hours. You'll never fall behind!

You can pay forward the gift of leadership by sponsoring a seat for another woman leader. Simply fill out the sponsorship form, and our team will take care of their enrollment process for you.

The Introduction to Leadership (ITL) course has eight mandatory modules. Please carefully read the instructions in the course guidebook to ensure a strong start!

Each module touches upon a different aspect of leadership and includes a combination of theory, reflective assessments and discussion boards to engage with your peers.

It may take you between 1 and 3 hours to complete each module.

Each module unlocks after you complete the one before it. This step-by-step journey is designed to help you build deeper self-awareness and strengthen your leadership skills as you go. We encourage you to move through the modules to get the most out of the experience.

We highly recommend completing the modules in order. Each module is interconnected and specifically designed to stimulate self-reflection and enhance leadership traits. Hence, completing them in the designated sequence can significantly contribute to your leadership journey.

Exercises and assessments are built into each module with clear instructions to guide you. Simply follow the steps, and once you've completed the assessment, you'll receive a confirmation within the course platform that it's done—no separate submission is needed.

Note: These assessments help you focus on your leadership development objectives and reflect on your personal and professional goals. Therefore, we expect participants to work independently. Please refrain from engaging in any type of plagiarism.

You’ll have multiple opportunities to interact with your peers during the Introduction to Leadership (ITL) course. We encourage you to engage meaningfully through the following spaces:

ITL Community Wall
Connect with your cohort circle by introducing yourself, sharing reflections, celebrating achievements, and engaging with others through comments, hearts, and upvotes. We kindly ask everyone to interact respectfully and help create a supportive learning community.

Live Sessions
For Community Access participants, you will have access to 5 live sessions where you can learn, reflect, and exchange insights alongside peers and expert facilitators.

This course runs in 8-week cohorts, with a set start and end date. You can move through the modules at your own pace within that time. Since each module unlocks only after completing the previous one, we recommend aiming to complete one module per week for the most meaningful experience.

For Cohort 36, the programme will run from 30th June to 25th August 2026.

We could not extend the deadline since the course occurs in cohorts. You can, however, re-register to complete the course in another cycle. We also encourage you to save the assessments you are completing, as these may prove to be helpful for you the next time you register for the Introduction to Leadership (ITL) course.

All modules must be finished within the 8-week course period to complete the course. If you’re unable to do so, you’ll need to re-register for the next cycle and start the course again from the beginning.

After successfully completing the course, you will:

• Receive a Certificate of Completion
• Join the community of 5000+ gender equity allies across the globe
• Join learning and networking events held on an ad hoc basis
