Benefits
The Mustashar Accelerator Program provides three main benefits: Learning, Placement, and Membership in our Learner Community.
Learning
The Mustashar Accelerator is a four day training program in foundational management consulting skills that is delivered over two blocks of two days each. Instruction will be live via Zoom by instructors who are Alumni of top tier consulting firms. The program will be highly interactive. In addition to the live instruction, there will be group exercises and peer coaching, as well as recommendations for independent learning. The main language of instruction will be in English, with selected modules having mixed delivery in English and Arabic.
The program will conclude with a formal assessment as well as with mock-interviews and interview preparation for potential roles. Upon completion of the program, you will receive an official digital certificate that you can add to your CV / LinkedIn profile. To receive the certificate, it is required to have attended all courses and to have completed the final assessment at the end of the program
The program will be delivered in two tracks – one track aimed at “university students”, and another track aimed at professionals, with a differentiated agenda for both.
Accelerator Tracks
The Mustashar Accelerator has two different program tracks, one aimed at Bachelor students & Fresh Grads and one aimed Professionals.The general structure of the agenda will be the same, but there will be variation in content, exercises, examples, and guest speakers.
