Recognising the busy schedule of senior managers and the needs of their employers, the courses have been designed by our team (all of whom are highly experienced leadership & management coaches) to provide a flexible, customised learning solution.
The Certificate in Leadership and Management consists of one, flexible mandatory unit that allows delegates to identify and work on the areas of leadership and management specific to their own work context and career path. Their work will focus on ways in which effective leadership and management skills can make a real difference to their organisation and to them as a senior manager.
The Certificate consists of one unit:
Developing leadership and management capability20 credits at Level 7
This unit involves applying an enquiry-based approach to
- developing leadership and management capability, including:
- identifying a ‘live’ leadership & management opportunity or issue within the organisation
- undertaking a data-driven project based on this issue
- evaluating the outcomes and impacts of the project
The programme is delivered through a unique blend of executive coaching and work based learning. Delegates define a set of objectives designed to have a real impact on their workplace and develop these into a work based learning project. As they progress through the course, supported by their coach, their work will focus on achieving high levels of impact for themselves and their organisation. Their learning will evolve as they progress, drawing on both structured on-line learning and a large library of materials, provided by both the Institute of Leadership & Management and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). At the end of the unit, delegates will present their findings and recommendations to key stakeholders.
Learners and their sponsors can expect real impacts for themselves and
their organisations. Potential impacts can vary significantly, but are
always going to be linked directly to the learner and/or their
organisation.
The unit involves a number of learning activities which may include:
- on-line learning
- monthly tutorial sessions with your personal tutor
- practical work based assignments
- regular feedback from your tutor and the assessment team
N.B.
All students are provided with studying membership of the Institute of
Leadership & Management for the duration of their course.
