Overview

The Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management aims to give practicing and potential first line managers the foundation for their formal development. The course is ideal for individuals who have management responsibilities but no formal training, and also those who wish to develop their abilities.

It particularly supports practicing team leaders seeking to move up to the next level of management and managers who need to lead people through organisational change and other pressures.

This course will be delivered fully online using Microsoft Teams and will be further supported and assessed through the use of common digital tools such as Microsoft Office, online learning resources and online meetings. Prospective learners should therefore have a level of competence and confidence in the use of IT, as well as sufficient IT and internet access to facilitate this.
