Where do I send my application?
If I'm from a country that is not listed on si.se/simpasia - can I still apply?

No, unfortunately that’s not possible. We can only accept candidates who are citizens of one of our programme countries: India, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. We are not able to make any exceptions to the eligibility requirements, or temporarily consider a new country. At this point we do not have any plans to add any new countries. Please check this link for other leadership programmes that might include your country of citizenship: https://si.se/en/apply/leadership-programmes/
I attended many years ago - can one attend again?
I work full-time, do I still have time to attend the course?

Yes, it’s certainly possible and almost all participants do work full-time. Our ambition is to make sure that the SIMP programme is an integral part of your job. Our live sessions are during the traditional working week, so you will need to book time into your calendar for those. Additional activities such as recorded material and group tasks can be completed at the time in the week that suits you. See programme timeline above for more details.
What happens if I miss one of the live sessions?
What equipment is required of me to be able to participate?

We encourage you to take part in the live sessions on a device with a keyboard so you can interact fully and engage with the other participants. You cannot take part in SIMP by just “listening in” through a smartphone. You need to be able to chat, share, discuss, and co-create with others.

"When you are looking at technology and how you are serving your customers, you need to start looking at it from sustainability as well. How can we do that in a sustainable way? It is something that can become part of your processes and understanding this was a great takeaway for me."
