We recommend submitting at least 30 days in advance of the program start date. For our international participants, 3 months in advance can be helpful to allow the participant time to apply for the travel visa, if necessary.

If you are interested in attending a program with your colleagues or would like to discuss sending multiple executives, please contact us for more information. We can then also discuss whether a customized corporate program may be advisable for your organization.

Program location & format

The programmes have different venues. Our NETLOP program takes place at different locations in the DACH region. In our ENLOP program, groups visit partner universities in the Europa. The first and last sessions takes place at our campus in Hamburg. Shorter programmes usually only take place at the KLU campus.

Yes, upon successful completion of each program you receive a certificate.

Most of our programs take place in-class on KLU’s campus, but we also offer online and blended learning programs. Please check the website of each program for its intended format. Hybrid solutions are offered during challenging times like a pandemic.

The biggest differences between the two programs are the language of instruction and the venues. While the NETLOP program is held in German within the DACH region, the ENLOP program is held in English at six locations within Europe. [Learn more]

Preparing for a Program

Approximately 2-4 weeks prior to the program start date you will receive access to a course website. This site will contain pre-reading materials and logistical information to help you prepare for your time at KLU Executive Education.

KLU will provide you with writing utensils. Laptops or tablets are not required, but can be used for taking notes if you prefer.

Drinks and food are usually included in the seminars and cover snacks for coffee breaks and/or hot lunch depending on the duration of the event.

Class sessions typically last 1.5 hours. A class day usually begins at 9:00 a.m. with a 30-minute coffee break session, an hour break for lunch and a 30-minute afternoon coffee break session. On free evenings, joint activities such as dinners are also usually planned.

Business casual attire is appropriate during all Executive Education programs.

International Participants

Within the European Union you will not need a visa. If you are travelling from another country please check in with the German Embassy to be sure which visa you would need.

Of course. Our program managers are always happy to help with any questions you may have.

The language requirements depend on the respective program. It is required that participants are business fluent in the language in which the program is offered. We currently offer seminars in either German or English.

It is expected that participants have health insurance valid in Germany for the duration of the program. KLU is not responsible for medical expenses incurred by participants during the program.

Payments and cancellations

Full payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. If the participant is enrolling within 30 days of the program’s start date, full payment is due immediately.

  • Because attendance at a KLU Education program requires significant advance preparation and demand often exceeds capacity, it is important that you contact us in a timely manner if you must cancel or defer your attendance.
  • Participants may make up the missed session at the same university in the following year.
  • Please note, we only allow one program transfer. If you are unable to attend the program to which you defer, you may send a colleague in your place or the program fee would be forfeited.

In such cases, participants are entitled to withdraw from the event. Participants are not entitled to reimbursement of travel costs, hotel costs or time not worked.
