ExecOnline resells three-to-six-week business-school leadership courses to large employers, with certificates of completion from schools like Columbia and Wharton. It suits an engineering manager whose company already has a contract and offers a seat. If you are paying yourself, there is no public price, which is the signal that this is not built for you.
