Back to Main Course Page Start with Day 1
9:30 - 5:00
Daily schedule with working sessions, breaks and practical application
Day 1 focus

Project Clarity & Structured Planning

Participants create a properly structured, execution-ready project plan with clear outcomes, ownership and task logic.

Day 2 focus

Action & Accountability

Participants learn how to convert discussions into action, assign ownership properly and communicate progress clearly.

Day 3 focus

Tracking, Follow-Up & Delivery

Participants put a full tracking and follow-up system in place so projects maintain momentum and close with confidence.

This isn’t a theoretical outline. It’s a working execution system participants apply during the course.

The detailed format makes it easy for prospective attendees or organisations to understand exactly how the EAAT method is taught and implemented across the three days.
