    Questions your employer might ask

    How long is the programme?

    The core BatteryMBA is 12 weeks, part-time and fully online (approx. 2-8 hours/week depending on whether you join the optional case-study track). There are also shorter specialist trainings (4 to 6 weeks) if a full MBA is too big a commitment.

    What is the typical employer contribution?

    Most employers cover 50 to 100% of tuition. Some treat it as a professional development budget item; others use innovation or sustainability training funds.

    Can we enrol a group instead?

    Yes, see our For Companies page for custom cohorts, private briefings, and bulk pricing.

    What if my employer says no?

    We offer scholarships for eligible candidates. Many alumni also self-fund initially and are reimbursed after demonstrating ROI.
