Emeritus programs are designed for working professionals. These programs in the areas of digital, analytics, innovation, strategy and leadership are intended to help working professionals prepare themselves for the rapidly changing demands of the work place. Completing an Emeritus program gives you the knowledge, the network, and the certificate to stay relevant in the digital workplace. Several of our alumni report success in implementing new strategies at their jobs. Some of them report career moves.
Most of our learners are individuals enrolling in their personal capacity. Hence, we receive feedback from them, not from their employers. In the past, we have had senior managers, directors, general managers, VPs, and CXOs enrolled into our programs from companies like Accenture, Adobe, Amazon, CISCO, Deloitte, EY, Flipkart, Genpact, IBM, KPMG, SAP, and Thomson Reuters, to name a few. Most of our learners have provided testimonials and have written blog posts about their experience. You can see the testimonials on our website and search for the blog posts on the Internet.
Emeritus certificate programs are not designed for accreditation by professional bodies. The programs that are accredited by professional bodies usually teach specific skills. Emeritus programs are intended to teach using frameworks and case studies and to encourage you to think of what is possible.
We are certain that our programs are the best in the world since these programs are designed by faculty from the best universities in the world. Also, the universities we collaborate with are represented on our Academic Board, which approves each program design.
The Emeritus diploma programs are registered and approved by the Committee for Private Education (CPE), Singapore, which is the education regulator in Singapore. The Emeritus diploma programs contain content created in partnership with the best universities in the world.
Completion of an Emeritus certificate program does not translate into credits at our partner universities or any other universities. The design of our programs aims to help working professionals prepare themselves for the challenges of a rapidly changing workplace. We have chosen an online model of delivery to ensure busy working professionals are able to acquire the skills their jobs require. The design and delivery model of our programs are not intended to fit into an academic credit program.

We follow a unique pedagogy at Emeritus. The pedagogy weaves together video lectures that cover the theory and frameworks, followed by assignments. The assignments require learners to apply the theory and frameworks to actual workplace situations. Simulations are also included where relevant. The pedagogy includes grading and feedback on assignments, so you know if you have applied concepts correctly. For instance, in the Digital Strategies for Business course, learners are taught the Customer Path to Purchase — an important framework while designing a digital transformation. The framework is taught through video lectures. This is then followed by an assignment where the learner must create a Customer Path to Purchase for their own business or for a business of their choice. The assignment is graded, and feedback is provided whether the framework was applied correctly.
Emeritus programs usually cover both B2C and B2B business models. Many of the frameworks that are taught are equally applicable in both B2C and B2B situations. You may see more B2C examples since these examples are easier to relate to for every learner. We encourage you to participate in the discussions, contextualize the topic under discussion, and ask pointed questions to understand why and how a framework or strategy will apply in your context
Yes, all the concepts we teach are relevant to businesses of all sizes. We use examples of large companies since these are easy for everyone to relate to. However, the frameworks and concepts are applicable to a smaller business too. Keep in mind that large companies were also small companies once, which grew owing to their successful strategy.
Moreover, we urge you to participate in the discussions, contextualize the topic under discussion, and ask pointed questions to understand why and how a framework or strategy will apply in a smaller company.
Yes, the frameworks and concepts we teach apply across industries and businesses.
