Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Academy for?
The VHCA-VCAL Business Academy is for both current and aspiring leaders to learn the fundamentals of organizational leadership and business finance.
- We suggest that administrators, regionals, corporate staff, managers, future leaders, and high-potential employees go through this program together as a unit for the most impactful outcomes.
- The more of your team that understands these fundamentals, the better off your organization will be.
How long will it take me to complete? Per section & in total?
Weekly you should expect about 2.5 hours per week, but self-paced learning is all up to your availability!
Then bi-weekly we have 60-minute long live sessions with your peers and industry experts.
Overall, you should expect anywhere from 20-40 hours over the 10-weeks. (Some learners spend much longer than this and some a little less, but it depends on where you are at in your professional journey)!
How many people from my team should participate?
Beyond being a great learning program, this is an organizational alignment tool meaning that the more people who participate together, the better the impact you’ll see when looking to implement these learnings.
Who will be our instructors?
Jeremy Wall is GoalMakers lead facilitator, and has worked with hundreds of learners, helping them not just learn but implement during our live sessions. Jeremy has founded, grown, and exited businesses before and will work with you and your team as you look to do the same.
John Cioffi, the Chief Content Officer at GoalMakers, has spent the last 30 years coaching hundreds of clients to success. He previously ran a subsidiary of Amoco Oil and held executive positions at several other companies in a wide variety of industries. Cioffi received his MBA from The Wharton School and holds a masters degree from Dartmouth.
What if I miss the live sessions?
While you will get the most out of joining them and participating in the conversation with both your peers and industry experts, if you can’t make one do not worry!
- All sessions are recorded and uploaded into the eLearning to review later.
How long will I have access to the program?
Great question, while the program runs in a synchronous timing with your peers after the 10-weeks you will retain access as it does not expire.
Are there assignments and testing?
You won’t get a certificate just for signing up, no participation trophies here!
- Throughout the program, there are six end-of-section knowledge checks at the end of each of the management sections, and then a cumulative exam at the end. All must be completed and passed in order to receive your certificate.
