The way leaders show up and perform matters more than ever.

The world of work has gone through massive changes during the past few years.

The rise of hybrid and remote working means many managers now face an additional challenge of leading and motivating teams they only see occasionally.

So, it has never been more crucial for leaders and managers to be able to bring the best out of their teams and to create an environment of autonomy.

They will need to reflect, review and analyse performance against organisational objectives.


We've created this online course to steer middle and senior managers – and those who want to develop their skills – through the new world of work.

It draws on our extensive experience of delivering leadership and management training.

And it brings all the great learning from our classroom into a format you can access anywhere at any time – and at a pace that works for you.

Our experienced and highly respected tutors will guide you through the skills you need to focus on, and the theory and methodology that underpins brilliant leadership and management.

It is broken down into three main sections:


·         Becoming an effective leader

·         Leading innovation and change

·         Understanding organisational culture and context

Not only will you develop your skills, knowledge, and confidence, but once you have completed the course, you will have achieved the highly regarded ILM Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management.
