“HOW DOES THE CREATING A VESTED AGREEMENT COURSE WORK?”
Register by clicking on the “Register Here” button to get started. You will receive an email with instant access and instructions for using the course. The course contains 17 modules. Typically, members of the “Deal Team” will take each online course module to learn the key concepts through the online lectures. They will then download the Vested Toolkit® associated with that module and meet as a team to make the key decisions needed and complete the deliverables.

“IS THIS COURSE LIVE?”
This is NOT a live, in-person presentation, so you can get started immediately. You can complete the course at your own pace from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. The course comes with 8 hours of support from one of our Vested Centers of Excellence. Those needing an extra helping hand can discuss additional coaching or consulting support with their assigned Center of Excellence.
“HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO DO THIS COURSE”
The answer is, “it depends.” Larger, more complex deals will take much longer than a simple agreement with minimal scope. The course includes a “Getting Ready” module and project plan which will help you create a detailed project plan that will help you plan your project.
If you have never created a Vested Agreement before, we recommend taking at least one week for each of the 17 modules. Using a “one module a week” rule of thumb will result in creating your agreement in 17 weeks. The shortest implementation we have seen is two months, and the longest was 18 months. If you are uncertain about your project plan, the course comes with 8 hours of support from a Vested Center of Excellence (per deal – not per person) and you can discuss project planning with your assigned Center of Excellence.
“I STARTED THE COURSE, BUT WE ARE NOT READY TO COMPLETE A VESTED AGREEMENT. CAN I TAKE IT AGAIN?”
Yes. While the purpose of this course s to help you create a Vested Agreement for your relationship, we realize some people dig in and are not ready. As such, this course can be taken for general learning to help learn the art and science of crafting a Vested Agreement. Individuals who take the course for general knowledge can come back and access it when the timing is right and they are ready to begin creating their Vested agreement – at no additional cost for the same agreement.
