Ready to move from “ great engineer” to trusted tech leader—without waiting for someone to “take a chance” on you? 

The Future Leaders Course is built for emerging leaders who want to step into team/project leadership with stronger communication, prioritization, and people-management skills. 

You’ll also earn a CPD-accredited certificate and get lifetime access, so you can apply the lessons as your role expands.

The next cohort launches on Monday, February 2, 2026.

What Our Graduates Say

"Great for every technology leader

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." - Grzegorz M., Engineering Manager

Turn Leadership Signals Into Leadership Skills

If today’s teardown made you think, “I’m already doing more than my profile shows—I just need a structured way to level up,” the Digital MBA for Technology Leaders is built for exactly that shift: from strong delivery to trusted, cross-functional leadership.

The next cohort starts Monday, February 2, 2026, and it’s designed for ambitious engineering managers and tech leads who want to build the capabilities hiring managers are scanning for: strategy, judgment, influence, and commercial fluency (the stuff that gets you into the room and, more importantly, keeps you there).

You’ll go through 9 high-impact modules in a flexible format that fits around a full-time job, with 200+ practitioner-led micro-lectures, weekly expert Q&As, and peer sessions to pressure-test decisions before they hit your org.

You also get lifetime access, up to 12 months to complete, a personal course manager, and a 7-day money-back guarantee after the course starts.
