    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much time do I need per week?
    Plan for roughly 2 to 3 hours per week for live lectures and office hours, or 4 to 5 hours per week if you also join the optional case study track.
    What happens if I miss a live session?
    Every live lecture is recorded and made available on the learning platform shortly after, so you can catch up on your own schedule. Office hours are also offered in multiple time zones each week, so if you miss one you can simply join another.
    Can I get an invoice for my employer?
    Yes. Many participants are sponsored by their employer. Once accepted, BatteryMBA can issue a pro forma invoice with your company's billing details so the organisation can process payment. EU business customers can provide a valid VAT ID to have the invoice issued under the reverse-charge mechanism.
    What does the course cost?
    The programme fee is €2,900 per seat. The current cohort price is always shown in the pricing section on the homepage. Partial scholarships are available for eligible candidates from underrepresented backgrounds with limited financial means, and group rates apply from 5 seats.
    Do I need a technical background to join?
    No technical background is required. BatteryMBA is designed for professionals from diverse backgrounds, engineers, business leaders, investors, and sustainability experts alike. The programme covers fundamentals before diving deep, and every participant also gets complimentary access to Battery101, an optional on-demand primer covering lithium-ion basics you can work through before your cohort starts.
