The demand for effective leaders and managers is increasing. Employers are offering Leadership and Manager qualifications to their employees as a way to develop and retain their existing workforce, ready to become their leaders and managers of the future or improve their current practices.
We offer bespoke courses to enable employers to help to develop their current and future leaders and managers.
The Level 3 qualification in Principles of Management and Leadership is aimed at practising or aspiring managers. Students will learn to supervise or manage a team to achieve clearly defined outcomes and monitor goals and objectives by providing instruction, direction and guidance. Day to day operational and project activities are a key part of their role.
