Events, forum, book club & LinkedIN – this is how you can get to know your fellow students

Power MBA Events

Global Welcome Webinar

At the beginning of the Power MBA there are various events where you can get to know your fellow students. At the start there is the Global Welcome Webinar. There you will be explained exactly how the program works and what to expect. A few days later the speed networking events begin. There you have the opportunity to network with Power MBA students from your region (continent). Usually there are 50-100 people in these calls. You will then automatically be divided into small groups of 5-10 people and you can get to know each other better with small tasks.

Global Speednetworking Event

I can only recommend these events to you. Even if it is initially uncomfortable to sit in a zoom call with complete strangers from different nations. But you will get to know the most interesting people there. In my first speed networking event, I met a startup founder from Israel, multiple Ultra Man participants from New York, a rocket scientist from Finland and an engineer from Munich.

Speednetworking for each country

There are also speed networking events for the respective country. These run on the same principle as the global networking events. You will also get to know great and inspiring people in these calls.

Powertalks

In addition to the local speed networking events, there are also so-called power talks. In these webinars, entrepreneurs from the respective country are invited and speak about a specific topic or are available for questions and answers.

Meet Your Teachers Webinare

Other great events are the Meet your Teacher webinars. In these events people like Eric Ries (Lean Startup), Marc Randolph (Netflix) or Uri Levine (Waze) are interviewed. You can ask questions in advance and during the session, which the lecturer will then answer. If you don’t have time, you can watch the recording afterwards.

Offline / Live Events

If no global pandemic has broken out, there are also some on-site meetings in addition to the countless online events. But unfortunately I can’t tell you anything about them. My course fell straight into the pandemic.

Power MBA local groups

There are city groups for local exchange. For every city there are ambassadors, i.e. students who manage the groups. If you live in Buxtehude, you can easily assign yourself to the city that is closest or most pleasant for you.

When there is no pandemic, live events are organized in these groups. Otherwise you can always ask questions and network with the other Power MBA students.

Power MBA LinkedIN

What would a business training in the 21st century be without LinkedIN? Since 2020 the platform has become something like the Facebook for employees, employers and entrepreneurs. In combination with the Power MBA, you can state the Power MBA as an apprenticeship on your LinkedIN profile. Due to the increasing popularity of further training, this can bring you some advantages with recruiters.

You can also see who is still completing the Power MBA and where these people are employed. This allows you to build up a large network of new acquaintances on LinkedIN and use it for your professional reach.

What does the course cost, are there hidden costs and what about a discount?

What do you get for that?

The program lasts a total of 11 months. If you calculate the price down to the month, you come to € 77.27 / month. That’s not a small amount, but for this money you will definitely take your career to the next level. Even if you get a pay increase of only € 100 net as a result of this training, you will have the costs back in just 9 months. Specifically, you get this content for your money:

• Meet the Teacher Webinars

100% money back guarantee

For those who are not sure whether the program is really worth the money, the Power MBA offers a 100% money-back guarantee. This means you can cancel your purchase within 15 days of starting the first lesson. You get 100% of your money back.

As with a normal degree program, registrations are only possible for a limited time. So there is a winter & summer semester. So if you register in June and the program doesn’t start until September 1st, you can practically withdraw from your purchase until September 15th.

Power MBA costs compared to other programs

As already said in the previous paragraph, the Power MBA cannot be directly compared with other MBA courses. It is neither a distance learning nor a traditional suburb course. But it’s not just an online course either.

The Power MBA has opened a new market for online courses. I think we will see even more formats of this kind in the future. In order to give you a feeling for the unbelievable price of the Power MBA, you can see here an overview table with prices for other MBA formats.

Power MBA discount

As already mentioned above, there are always promotions and discounts 1-2 months before a new semester begins. The earlier, the higher the discount. As long as no semester has started, you can put yourself on the waiting list and you will be informed immediately when a new semester begins. This means that you also benefit from the higher discount.

And if you do decide to withdraw from the purchase, you can do so up to 15 days after the start of the first lesson. You have plenty of time to watch the program in peace.

How do you get in touch with the Power MBA mentors?

At the beginning of each semester there is the Meet your Teachers Webniare. Here the Power MBA employees interview the mentors. These lectures are live, but you can always watch the recording afterwards. You can submit your questions about a week before the webinar. If the questions are interesting enough, they will be asked and answered by the mentor during the webinar.

Furthermore, the Power MBA lecturers appear again and again in the videos and teach on the respective topic. At the end of each lesson, you can provide feedback and ask questions. These will be answered by the Power MBA team, usually in less than 24 hours. Here you can also ask questions directly about the mentor or topic.

Otherwise you can network with the mentors on LinkedIN. But whether they answer you here is not in the power of the Power MBA. But getting started is much easier with further training.
