The Executive Certificate in Business & Public Administration (ECBPA) with Gansu Training Center for Senior Management Officials offered participants from a wide range of organisations a four-month full-time training programme hosted by the FHNW School of Business. The ECBPA programme combines input from FHNW lecturers, specialists and practitioners to offer concrete learning opportunities for participants in both theory and practice. The programme focuses in developing transferable skills which can be applied by the participants in their home environment.

According to Dang Jianwu, Head of the Gansu Delegation, "through the (ECBPA), our biggest harvest in Switzerland is not about knowing the huge achievements Swiss people have made, but learning how they have managed to get there."
