Leadership and management

We offer a range of development opportunities for you to develop your people management and leadership skills, knowledge and behaviours at all levels.

Using the principle of progressive mastering, where people grow into roles and develop new skills through learning and practice, our provision is grouped into a number of levels.  Attendance is not restricted to grades but instead is aimed at people with different levels of experience.

You may also choose to formalise your learning through one of our ILM qualifications. 

 

** STOP PRESS = Due to unprecedented demand we will be closing registrations for ILM qualifications on 1st March, re-opening on 1st August 2018. **
