Course overview

The Emerging Leadership Programme is a blended learning course that will equip you with the essential principles and practices of leadership and management. You will learn how to lead ethically and effectively, how to empower and motivate your team, and how to monitor and improve their performance. You will also gain insights into your own strengths and areas for development and receive feedback and support from your tutor and peers.

The certificate consists of two units:

  • Principles of Leadership Practice
  • Principles of Managing and Leading Individuals and Teams.

Each unit requires 30 and 25 guided learning hours respectively, plus self-directed study and assessment.
