How Is This Different From The EDGE That Symbia Offers?
This version of Edge is designed for professionals who want a powerful learning experience but can’t commit to the full EDGE experience (10 months).
We’ve selected the most important topics for 2026 and beyond and shaped them into a focused journey delivered in half the time.
The programme runs twice a year: from October to February and from February to June, giving flexibility to fit around demanding schedules.
