Active learning, flexibly structured
Courses are designed for completion over eight weeks, but you can move faster if you wish. Each course is structured around six modules that build on one another, so you’ll progressively develop specific skills and work toward mastering the course learning outcomes.
Nexford courses follow an active learning model – they are not based on recorded lectures or lengthy textbooks. Instead, you’ll engage with reading materials, videos, interactive components, and embedded quizzes, applying what you learn throughout each module. Most modules include quizzes and an assessment, and every course concludes with a final assessment.
You can study on your own schedule as long as you meet the weekly deadlines. Live sessions are available if you’d like to join, but attendance is optional. Support is always within reach – you can book time with faculty or advisors whenever you need guidance.
Learn by doing, not watching
Every course is built around practical, hands-on projects that mirror real workplace challenges. You’ll work on tasks such as creating financial models, developing data dashboards, or designing marketing strategies – the kind of work you'd do in your professional life.
You won’t just study concepts; you’ll apply them immediately, turning theory into practice. Many projects are based on real-world scenarios curated from leading global organizations, giving you experience with the same types of problems employers expect you to solve. By the time you complete each course, you’ll have tangible skills and a portfolio of work to show for it.
Learn with a global community
You won’t learn in isolation. At Nexford, you’ll collaborate with peers from around the world who are working toward similar goals. Through discussions, peer feedback, and optional live sessions, you’ll gain new perspectives and practice skills in a way that mirrors real workplace collaboration — without being tied to group projects or dependent on others’ progress.
Some courses include interactive activities, like recording short videos to develop communication skills, where peers provide constructive feedback to help you improve. Collaboration at Nexford is designed to enhance your learning, not limit your pace.
Earn badges and certificates
Earn certificates and digital badges for the skills you build — long before you finish your degree. Every project you complete moves you closer to your goals, and every milestone counts. Your progress isn’t hidden; it’s recognized and rewarded, giving you proof of what you’ve achieved and the ability to share it with employers as you grow.
In addition to Nexford certificates and badges, you’ll also gain access — at no extra cost — to hundreds of certificates from LinkedIn Learning and virtual work experiences from Forage, expanding your skills and credentials even further.
Individual and group support
You’re never on your own at Nexford. From day one, your dedicated Success Team is there to help you stay on track and reach your goals. You can book one‑on‑one time with advisors or faculty whenever you need guidance — whether it’s for academic support, career planning, or staying motivated.
In addition, regular online sessions are scheduled for you to drop in when you need extra help. These include career support workshops, faculty‑led sessions, and time‑management coaching designed to keep you moving forward. With 24/7 access to support and proactive check‑ins, you’ll always have the resources and guidance to succeed.
