Through reflective and applied activities, participants assess their own emotional intelligence, strengthen interpersonal skills, and develop strategies for effective communication and decision-making. Ideal for professionals, aspiring leaders, or anyone seeking to improve self-management and relationship-building, the course equips individuals to navigate challenges with confidence and contribute positively to organisational performance. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.

MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!
