The 2027 programme.

Nine courses, one a month from March to December 2027, taught live by Alan Gibbons, with three classroom weeks in Amsterdam. Students can receive their GRP® certification up to three times faster than the standard course format.

Course by course.

One course a month, for nine months. Each is taught over just two mornings, or two afternoons, so the programme sits alongside a full-time Rewards role. Participants may move between the morning and afternoon sessions to suit their own schedule, and may attend any or all of the Amsterdam classroom weeks. Recordings stay open throughout, and each exam is sat when you are ready.
