Stackable Learning: HEC Paris Executive Education’s Vision of Lifelong Learning

A modular approach

to building your own learning journey

Our offer is built around a key principle: modular learning. Each stackable Short Program, which lasts between 2 to 4 days, allows you to develop a targeted skill or deepen your understanding of a key strategic topic.
These stackable short programs can be taken independently or incorporated into a stackable Executive Certificate. In the same way, stackable Executive Certificates can be combined over time to lead to an Executive Master (validated by a thesis). 
This stackability approach allows for a progressive, visible, and recognized upskilling pathway, tailored to the time constraints of senior executives, managers, and entrepreneurs.


Capitalizable Short Programs and Executive Certificates can be identified using the marker.

Stackability

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Stackability functions as a customized progression system: each modular short program represents a building block that can be completed independently. By combining these blocks, you can build a learning journey that leads to a stackable Executive Certificate, and eventually to an Executive Master’s degree.
In practical terms, this means that participants can, over time (up to five years), combine several stackable programs to achieve a coherent and recognized upskilling objective. To easily identify the stackable programs within the HEC Paris Executive Education offering, simply look for the dedicated icon displayed on the pages of the relevant programs.
 

This visual marker allows you to envision, right from the start, a progressive learning path aligned with your professional ambitions.

Stackability and Lifelong Learning

A New Way of Learning

Lifelong learning is a concept born out of necessity . 
At HEC Paris Executive Education, lifelong learning is a strategic commitment. In a constantly evolving world, leaders and professionals must continuously adapt, reinvent themselves, and anticipate economic, technological, and societal transformations. 
That’s why HEC Paris Executive Education offers an innovative approach to continuous learning: the Stackable Journey, built on four core pillars - flexibility, capitalization, personalization, and visibility.
 

 

This modular approach enables the construction of high - impact continuous learning journeys, focused on key strategic issues such as leadership, corporate strategy, finance, marketing, and digital transformation.
