The programme
The Advanced Certificate of Learning in Organisational Management and Leadership at National Level 5
This CPD programme allows delegates to mix with other executives who are also challenging their decision-making around the three cornerstones of organisational success: defining strategy; achieving effective operational focus; and shaping a culture throughout a management team that delivers the results you’ve defined.
With three courses delivered over two consecutive days each, the programme is delivered in a way that allows busy leaders to balance the immersion in learning with the pace with which they want to complete the programme around a busy schedule.
The programme challenges executives in a way that's impossible to do within the normal context of ongoing business.

What leaders will be able to do differently
Leading an ambitious organisation requires many skills including astute decision making and the ability to engage a team to deliver. Being able to do this in an uncertain world and fulfil potential sooner rather than later means the modern leader needs to regularly challenge their own thinking, see things from new perspectives and take action.
The Level 5 Certificate of Learning in Leadership and Management is a unique programme designed to deliver real and immediate organisational improvements and encourage strategic and operational decision-making that delivers on long-term growth too.
The programme includes three two-day courses, additional online materials to help with applying new skills in the workplace as well as short-format bonus programmes delivered regularly on subjects pertinent to organisational design and leadership.

I was slightly skeptical about the online learning side of things, but it worked well, especially with the breakout rooms. Having a wide range of different courses to suit individual needs is also a great idea.
I found the Effective Communication Skills course helpful, it opened my eyes to how even body language can be a form of communication that may come across as negative. It has shown me I need to be more aware of how I come across to others when communicating with them.
The courses that led to my Certificate of Learning have incredibly improved my awareness when I communicate with colleagues. I am now in control of what I want to deliver, and I have the tools to do it effectively.
I found the course extremely useful and loved the psychology behind the different types of communication. I have been able to take this information back to my workplace and use the techniques to improve communication between myself and my team.
Mel really helped provide insight and offered points of difference that can help me in a professional setting. I enjoyed learning more about the ways body language and tone can have an impact. The eye accessing cues were also really interesting.
