The minor lasts 20 weeks (including the assessments). Classes are scheduled most of the times four days per week (20-25 hours a week). The remaining day is intended for consultation with fellow students and self-study at your own pace.
The minor is divided in part 1 (10 weeks) and part 2 (10 weeks). During both parts you attend the same courses. These courses are taught every week during meeting of 1,5 – 4 hours. Some courses are taught to all students together and some courses are taught to half of the students of the minor program. 

Testing in Create Your Future occurs by portfolio-assessments. Aim of the portfolio assessment is to track your personal and professional development, to provide evidence of your development on the learning themes and to take ownership in your own learning process.

After the first term you take part in a 'Mid term show and grow moment’ and after the second term you take part in the 'Final assessment'. In the Mid term show and grow moment you receive information about your learning progress and result for further development in the second term. There is only feedback and feed-forward. You are in the lead of creating your portfolio and presentation!

In your portfolio and your presentation you demonstrate that you can reflect on your own behavior, integrate content from the classes and have a dialogue about your personal and professional development with the Board of the Future.
