How the courses work

  • Format: self-paced online courses of about 20–25 hours, organised in four to five modules, on academy.gmj.ge.
  • Content: built on GILS analyses, with every figure sourced; written and reviewed by named experts.
  • Certificate: a Certificate of Completion issued by GMJ Academy and GILS after passing the assessment. It is not a state-recognised qualification and carries no CPD credits unless accreditation is obtained and announced.
  • Contributors wanted: experts can author or review modules — see each course page.
