- Much deeper content, in the form of mini-courses (four consecutive sessions)

- Accumulation of points after each lesson / workshop / mini-course

- Adding new and relevant content that the students asked us to bring

- Mini-diplomas - which are given at the end of practical workshops

- Significant features in the field of networking (super-important for our students) - such as the ability to chat with everyone you have studied with at Jolt, the ability to give your fellow students chirps for great contributions and more.

How did we know what to improve?

We’re building Jolt for our community, with our community.

To better understand them, we interviewed dozens of students in both London and Tel Aviv. We also interviewed those who left us to get the whole truth. Hundreds of hours of studies and interviews later, and we gained an incredibly clear idea of exactly what our students need to gain a competitive advantage: the skills, the content, the networking.

We also talked with people from HR professionals from companies of all sizes, with CEOs, and read every possible study on the future of work. But we won’t stop there. Not now, not ever. On the contrary, we continue to measure everything possible: how satisfied our students are, how long it takes them to get to campus, how appropriate our curriculum is.

And here we are, half a year later, with a lot of insights, data, and an updated vision. Drumroll, please...

Jolt 3.0: School of Business Administration, for people who build themselves by themselves

We understand our students better than ever. These are people who don’t wait for the world to fix them. They build themselves by themselves for themselves. Some are salaried and some are independent. They teach themselves new things in the workplace, and outside work. They’re not afraid of change. They know change is opportunity.

Jolt 3.0. Like an MBA, but smarter.

We’ve all been there. That career-defining moment when you wonder: “well, what’s next?”. This is the point when many people start considering an MBA. But the kicker is that MBAs are expensive, force you to put your life on pause and are, by and large, pretty outdated.

Take statistics, for example. Why should someone who wants to advance their career need to learn statistics?! If you’re not a data scientist, why would you force yourself to learn things you don’t need. We did enough of that in school, right?

When we decided what classes would be in our curriculum, we didn’t go to look at what’s happening elsewhere. Instead, we checked what the industry really needs, and worked backwards from there.

Jolt 3.0 - A curriculum you won’t be dying to finish

Remember the last time you studied something? Chances are, you were dying to finish it. Our challenge is to do the opposite: to create a programme where the process itself is the focus. Sure, the diploma you’ll receive at the end will show the world that you’re ambitious and have studied with us, but the main, most important goal is that you’ll accumulate new skills every week. Practical skills. That you can use tomorrow morning at work. And it’s not the diploma that’ll impress your next boss, but the fact that you’re actually taking the initiative to upskill, consistently.

It’s time for a curriculum that gives you a competitive advantage, not just a diploma. New skills that give tangible value without putting you in debt or forcing you to put your life on pause. A programme that, instead, accelerates your life and puts you in the top 5% of your industry. We’re proud to say that Not an MBA is that programme.
