Suitability - Who should attend?

Is this course right for me?

This course is aimed at transitioning and first-time leaders or those who want to prepare for taking the next step into a leadership role.

Those who attend this programme should ideally already be in a lower/middle level management role and either looking to progress into a more senior leadership role, or have recently been promoted into a leadership position.

If you have recently moved into a senior leadership role (in the last 12-18 months) and have not yet engaged in any leadership development, then this programme would be extremely valuable for you to develop your self-awareness and identify the key skills and behaviours you need to develop to foster a more empowering approach to leading others to achieve bottom-line results.

Are there any formal entry requirements?

There are no formal entry requirements for this course, however those who join this programme should ideally already be in a leadership role or planning to move into a leadership role in the next 12 months.

Please note that for our online programmes, you are required to have access to suitable IT resources (access to a laptop/PC/iPad/tablet) and an internet connection to be able to access the ‘live’ online workshops.
