Executive learning reimagined for real life

Time is scarce. Change is constant. Today’s leaders need learning that fits into life and not the other way around. Micro-learning provides compact, high-impact learning experiences designed for professionals who move quickly and think deeply.

Built around short, structured modules, micro-learning offers focused insights you can absorb quickly and apply immediately. It supports retention, encourages engagement, and fits around your schedule—without compromising on depth.

Accessible anytime, anywhere, and on any device, our micro-learning courses reflect how knowledge is increasingly consumed: in the in-between moments, not just in the classroom.

Capsule Courses: one hour, one format, countless insights Executive learning

Designed by ESCP expert practitioners and showcasing the academic excellence of our faculty, our Capsule Courses redefine executive learning through a hyper-focused format.

One hour of learning, fully optimised for impact:

  • Six short video capsules (3–5 mins each)
  • Interactive activities like supplementary lectures and curated content
  • A final quiz to reinforce key takeaways

Topics include leadership, innovation, digital strategy, finance and more, taught by ESCP faculty and expert practitioners. You can start and finish a course in the time between meetings—and apply what you’ve learned before the next one.

We have a growing collection of Capsule Courses, built to empower professionals who never stop learning.
