CTO Academy Anmeldelser 

I recently completed the Future Leadership course at CTO Academy and found it to be a very good investment in my professional development. It provides great leverage for your leadership knowledge with a very practical approach. The lessons are short, well-explained, and easy to digest. A huge plus is the access to many useful links and resources that I’ve saved for future reading.

I've used three components to evaluate bringing people into my teams over the years. Those are Character, Competency, and Chemistry. My experience with CTO Academy has reflected myriad moments that reflect each of these pillars. In particular I'm so grateful for the compassionate founders that have lead the way for over a year of my life. To Andrew, Jason and Nati... the rest of the Academy lecturers and the people I've met. You are high quality people serving the world in ways that might not ever be able to fully thank you for. So, from one person... Thank you!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I got added to your team.

I joined the CTO Academy Digital MBA because I was looking for a program that combined business knowledge with technology — something that could help me grow into a true technology leader.

The structure of the course was excellent. Each module was clear in its objectives, and the instructors brought diverse expertise and practical insights. The most valuable part for me was understanding what is expected from a CTO: how the role is perceived differently across the company, and how to build meaningful relationships with colleagues in other functions.

The biggest personal impact was a boost in confidence. By exposing me to such a wide spectrum of knowledge, the program helped me recognize both what I already know and the areas where I still need to grow. That clarity has made me a stronger leader with a clearer sense of direction for myself and my team.

Initially, I was hesitant about joining the live community sessions, but they turned out to be a real highlight. The workshops and lectures added depth and a sense of connection beyond the core material.

Overall, the course has made me a better leader and given me confidence in my professional future. I would recommend the CTO Academy Digital MBA to anyone who wants to go beyond the work of an individual contributor and step into the broader responsibilities of technology leadership.

WOW!! - I can’t recommend CTO Academy highly enough—it’s been a true eye opener and enforcement for my growth as a tech leader. The Digital MBA delivers practical, no-nonsense insights from real CTOs and experts, covering all the essentials including strategy, finance, self improvement, people management, and investor relations, without the excess of a traditional MBA.
The content is engaging, self-paced, and instantly applicable—I’ve already dodged common pitfalls and seen tangible improvements in my decision-making and team performance. **The vibrant global community, coaching sessions, and responsive support feel like having a reliable network of mentors and peers at your fingertips.**
Outstanding value, perfect flexibility for busy schedules.
If you’re a tech leader looking to level up, this is the smartest investment you’ll make.

5 stars, easily.

CTO Academy’s MBA was genuinely enriching and practical. The online peer-to-peer sessions and community meetups added real value, and the program helped me build on my strengths while addressing key gaps—especially self-leadership. Most importantly, it reinforced how critical business understanding is for aligning technology with business objectives and delivering better outcomes for customers. I also met a strong community of like-minded leaders. Highly recommended.

Staying engaged in an online learning environment while balancing work and life was a real challenge, but the flexibility of this program made it possible, something I simply couldn’t have managed with a traditional in-person course.

What really stood out was the breadth of topics, especially those beyond the usual technology operations. Diving into areas like leadership strategy, finance, and organisational design gave me fresh perspectives that I’m excited to apply in my role.

CTO Academy provides a broad range of excellent material as well as a great community.
The lecture series is comprehensive and follows a logical path. The self-paced rhythm of weekly material releases for 4 weeks followed by a catch-up week worked well for me. I joined to grow my knowledge of the commercial, financial, legal and security demands of a CTO role more than the self-development and modern leadership. I suspect many course participants join for opposing reasons; suffice to say the course is well-balanced across all the leadership demands of a modern CTO.
Note I'm based in Australasia - the community isn't as strong here, and there are less events focused on my timezones, nonetheless there was certainly enough of a community feel for me to benefit - Andrew Weaver has put a lot of effort into making this work, and it's much appreciated!
I will certainly be going back to material repeatedly in the future.

The lectures! They were from the people out there in the real time and as we call it - the trenches! Extremely engaging and enlightening to listen to each individual with such diverse backgrounds! My only regret is that my procrastination syndrome got the better of me at times, but thanks to the continued support from the Course Admins, I managed to hang on and finish it!

I highly recommend the CTO Academy for its practical approach, providing valuable tools and insights that have significantly supported my growth. The coaches, live peer sessions, and vibrant community offer a wealth of knowledge and experience, creating a strong support network. The lectures are well-structured, offering a broad perspective that emphasizes not just individual or managerial roles but the bigger picture. The thoughtful chronology of the content ensures a comprehensive and impactful learning experience.

Overall a brilliant course that covers a wide range of topics from personal growth, management topics, finance, board level and investor relations, and of course technology. The lecturers come from a diverse range of industry, and include founders, CTOs, CIOs, Lawyers, consultants, and more. The focus is real world breadth over depth, and the breadth focus helps to really define the many and varied facets of being a CTO, and this is why it is definitely more professional development that deep academia. Andrew and the other staff are always very helpful and friendly too.

One of the highlights of the program was the real world applicability and engagement as well as actionable insights and and measurable improvements in team focus and leadership fundamentals.
A special thank you to the leadership team at CTO Academy, the authenticity and passion you bring to coaching create an environment of trust and mutual respect, allowing students to embrace challenges and innovate with confidence; and through your personalized feedback and unwavering support, you nurture talent, build accountability, and inspire ongoing development—making a measurable impact on both individual careers and our collective success. Thank you. Highly recommend this MBA programme.

An exceptional course for technology leaders seeking to expand their strategic vision and drive impactful change.
Delivered by a highly experienced lecturer with real-world insights, this program goes beyond theory—challenging participants to cultivate thought leadership, embrace a growth mindset, and align technology strategy with business value. The structured curriculum and practical examples empower leaders to elevate their influence and deliver measurable outcomes in the organizations they serve.

CTO Academy is a fantastic and cost-effective resource for tech leaders. The Digital MBA program exceeded my expectations around content, flexibility, and overall value. I took an accelerated learning path because 1) the content was truly interesting and fun and 2) I could apply what I was learning immediately in my current role and with building career opportunities. I was also able to provide 5 seats to the Future Leaders course to my team for free.

Spending several thousand euros and a few months on an online training isn’t something one does lightly -- there are plenty of ways such a long journey could disappoint.
Nothing like that happened with CTO Academy.

Andrew, Jason, and the team have done a monumental job assembling a thorough, well-structured and up-to-date curriculum that truly covers everything a CTO needs to know. Many lectures (especially on legal and financial topics that most CTOs seldom dive into) -- gave me a much more complete view of what it means to be a senior technical leader. I absolutely loved the war stories from Gus!

The community around CTO Academy is also thriving and full of genuinely motivated people. I haven’t seen any random participants -- everyone is engaged, helpful, and eager to share. There’s a lively social side too, with great discussions, panels, and one-off lectures.

Overall, I’m a happy customer -- I wish all my investments turned out this successful and enjoyable. Well done, CTO Academy!

I've been fortunate enough to complete a number of training courses aimed at leadership, technology and business skills.
I wanted to study a course specifically for technology leaderships and either fill in gaps in my own knowledge or add to what I already knew.
CTO Academy offered a great product which ticks all of those boxes and is continually improving over time, regularly taken onboard feedback to ensure it maintains best in class status.
Thank you to all involved over the past year.

I have been in tech for almost 30 years and have multiple certifications done along the way, including MS, Cisco, AWS. This was certainly one of the better laid out programs I've done with lots of variety, learning, and structure. A shout out to Andrew and Jason for providing such an amazing and immersive program.

Great content which help havigates in CTO role and prevent many errors. Worth every penny!

Well planned curriculum with lectures from Industry experts.

Structure and content of the courses are just great.
