AVT concept

AVT Business School is a community for ambitious people driven by a burning need to learn more. It attracts business people of different ages, backgrounds and gender and unites them in their desire to develop personally and professionally. AVT students posses the courage to widen their horizons. To be visionary. To enter the next level.

 

From CBA to MBA

The AVT educational concept consists of two primary education modules: the CBA and the MBA. Both are real-world programs designed for busy professionals, combining proven teaching methods with an intensive pace to ensure maximum learning in minimal time.

More than 900 executives have completed the CBA and MBA programs at AVT since its inception. Each year, our classes serve over 200 participants, making AVT one of the largest CBA/MBA schools in Denmark.

 

The CBA program

The CBA (Certificate in Business Administration) at AVT Business School, often referred to as a “mini-MBA,” is an accelerated executive certificate program that covers the key topics and management disciplines of the MBA curriculum. The CBA is the first of the two modules that comprise the AVT educational concept and serves as a stepping-stone to the MBA program.

Designed for motivated business managers who wish to take their leadership skills to the next level, the CBA helps participants strengthen their theoretical knowledge and apply theory profitably to their current business challenges.

The CBA program lasts six months and starts twice a year – in August and January.

 

The MBA

The MBA (Master of Business Administration) at AVT Business School is an intensive executive postgraduate degree. It is designed to expand the functional knowledge base of general managers as well as hone their ability to lead in an increasingly global business environment.

The MBA builds upon the successful completion of the CBA program and delves further into the key aspects of business – from strategy, leadership and marketing to finance, operations management and human resources. The MBA is a 12-month program with three study days per month.

All classes are held at the exclusive AVT Business School at Sankt Annæ Plads, located in the culturally rich metropolis of Copenhagen.

A high-impact learning experience

The CBA and MBA programs are taught in small classes that support an interactive and effective learning environment. AVT has implemented the methods and recommendations of Harvard Business School with respect to Participant-Centered Learning and the Case Learning Method, which Harvard pioneered. Our instructors combine the proven Case Learning Method with stimulating lectures to provide optimal opportunities for learning.

 

Executive education that fits your life

At AVT, we understand that a balanced life makes for an engaged and enthusiastic learner. That’s why our CBA program enables you to easily manage the demands of your studies, work and family.

In addition to conveniently scheduled classes, our programs allow you to complete the CBA and MBA curriculum at a pace that’s right for you.

You may pursue the MBA immediately upon graduating from the CBA program, or you may delay entrance into the MBA program for up to three years following completion of the CBA.

The AVT educational concept gives you the opportunity to “learn while you live” and coordinate the development of your career with the knowledge you gain from our programs.

 

Lifelong learning and networking

AVT also offers several lifelong learning opportunities that enable our graduates to continually refine their knowledge and keep abreast of the latest business concepts and strategies. Some are offered via our Alumni Business Network as 1- or 2-day Master Classes, and some – like the Certified Executive Scholar – are available as open enrollment programs.

 

Advanced management program – AMP

The Advanced Management Program (AMP) at AVT Business School is designed for top management and senior executives at director-level with proven leadership skills.

It is an intensive executive program designed to help you acquire the tools and insights needed to lead in a dynamic business environment.

 

The Certificate for Leaders

The ‘Certificate for Leaders’ is jointly offered by the AVT Business School and the International University of Monaco. It allows participants to study critical leadership concepts at the MBA level from their office or home – and at a pace that fits comfortably with their lifestyle.

 

Corporate programs

And AVT also offers customized corporate programs and different online programs.
