What's the Management and Leadership course about?
This programme prepares managers to perform confidently and effectively as a member of a management team. It has proved to be particularly effective in organisations undergoing significant cultural change, experiencing rapid growth, with a young or relatively inexperienced management team, or where individuals are promoted from technical into management roles. The programme is designed to meet national standards for management in the UK and is internationally recognised.
This programme is run as a flexible solution comprising workshops, self-study, and one-on-one tutorials. It follows our 3-step flexible-learning methodology:
Step 1: Theoretical knowledge is learned through directed self-study
Step 2: Theoretical knowledge is applied in activity-based workshops
Step 3: Further application to the individual through one-to-one tutorial support and guidance.
This qualification consists of one mandatory core unit and additional specialist units. These additional units have been selected to provide a specific focus for the course, i.e. to broaden and deepen the learner's experience of management skills and knowledge. The course should take about 9 months to complete; this is because of the practical nature of the programme where learners have to show how they have put into practice what they have learned.
The units are as follows:
- Principles of management and leadership
- Personal development
- Managing communication at work
- Managing projects
- Management of change
- Management decision making
- Principles of strategic management
- Managing a budget
- Managing staff performance
- Recruitment and selection
Assessment is via a combination of work based reports, learning contracts, written case study analysis, a business project and a personal development plan that sets the framework for individuals initiating continuous professional development methodologies for themselves. During the programme each learner will be asked to produce:
- 4 business reports which are 2000 words in length
- A business project which is 6500 words in length.
- A personal development plan that shows how the learner has developed as a person and a manager during the course.
Students are asked to be creative in how they prove that they have met the learning outcomes of the course. This enables them to act as professional consultants within their organisation and research subjects particular to their circumstances. The reports produced can form part of the assessment process.
What will I be able to do after I've completed this course?
On successful completion of the course you will have the option to extend the Diploma into a Foundation Degree validated by the University of Bolton and credits gained can be used to offset further qualifications at level 7 (equivalent to Masters Degree Level). This qualification has also been used to help achieve a promotion within the workplace.
What qualifications or experience do I need to do this course?
Applications are welcomed from those returning to work after a career break and those with aspirations to progress within management.
