The learning content is self-paced, and we have carefully designed it to fit your busy schedule. We, however, recommend completing the course within the standard four weeks to maximize the value of collaboration with fellow participants and the course coordinators.
If, for any reason, you are unable to complete the course in the recommended four weeks, you can request a deferral at no extra cost.
Alternatively, you can ask to be re-enrolled into the next class, should it suit you.
We have designed the EPB to cater for busy professionals. All learning happens online so that participants can watch the pre-recorded modules in their own time, at a pace comfortable for them. That said, we encourage participants to do their best to keep up with the weekly lectures to maximize the value of group interactions. Transcripts for all online videos are also available online for those who prefer reading.
We host two 1.5 hour highly interactive Zoom calls where participants ask pressing questions, openly share career-defining mistakes and success stories in a safe environment. If you miss any of these calls, you can request a complete voice recording or transcript.
The EPB is led by seasoned professionals, Phil Zongo, Jaime Cohen, and Darren Argyle, experts in their field who have leveraged their personal brands to create the careers they want.
If you have a question specific to Phil, Jaime, or Darren at any stage over the four-week course. You can contact them via the email system within the Cyber Leaders app.
Participants should devote 3-4 hours each week to the course. Additionally, they should allocate additional (2 * 1.5-hour slots) live Zoom calls.
We estimate participants to allocate their time as follows:
2 hours for learning the material, 1 hour to work on a personal branding strategy, and 1.5 hours for the bi-weekly Zoom calls.
Because of the global reach of our course, we have no pre-set times for our Zoom calls. Once the enrollment for a specific class is finalized, we organize the fortnightly Zoom calls, considering various time zones.
Upon completing the EPB, you will have full access to the course content (online lectures and transcripts) for twelve months.
Our first official cohort was November 2021. That said, all facilitators have mentored dozens of professionals to become respected industry authorities within their respective domains.
Once you have fulfilled the EPB requirements, you will receive a Credly digital badge that you can use to showcase your solid grasp of personal branding on LinkedIn or other platforms that matter to you. Credly, trusted by several large global brands, hosts the largest and most connected digital credential network.

There is no standard exam or test at the end of EPB. To receive their EPB digital badge, however, participants must complete the personal branding strategy project.
Over the course of the four weeks, each participant develops a comprehensive personal branding strategy and obtain feedback from course facilitators.
