Leadership and Management Development Programme
The Tyne & Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) required a Leadership and Management Development Programme consisting of a series of ILM qualifications and a Neuro Linguistic Programming workshop.
The programme had to cater for all delegates and needed to be designed to reflect their availability as they worked in two distinct shift patterns:
Eliesha took over a contract for a Leadership and Management Development Programme from a previous supplier and we had to improve the content, delivery and support provided including bridging the gap between the previous suppliers’ certificate and the new diploma qualifications.
The ILM qualifications consist of:
TWFRS has won awards for diversity and we also had to produce a detailed plan to enhance the ILM diversity unit.
To deliver the wide range of qualifications and associated development paths - and in consideration of limited delegate availability - our L&D consultants designed an innovative blended programme which contained the following activities:
The face to face workshops provided delegates with the underpinning knowledge and understanding for each topic covered. The workshops were designed to be highly participative, stimulating and enjoyable, incorporating interactive exercises for individuals and groups, discussion, storytelling, time for reflection and recap and action planning.
For the coaching qualifications, delegates received 1:1 coaching and began coaching other delegates in workshops in order to gain experience and confidence. Then, in order to apply and support their learning, they coached or mentored others of their choice in the workplace and reflected upon and recorded their experience in a coaching diary.
To take into consideration the participants shift patterns - and to control costs - the ILM face to face units were reinforced by a range of ILM distance learning units to offer a blended qualification. The distance learning was supported by custom written management development workbooks covering the key topics in straightforward and accessible language.
Each delegate completed ILM assignments and short form questionnaires which demonstrated the practical application of the topics covered and consolidated their understanding. Our assessors provided detailed individual feedback in writing and on a 1:1 basis via telephone or email.
These activities were supported by facilitated ALS’s to ensure the learning was fully understood, embedded in the workplace and allowed delegates to explore their own challenges linked to the themes discussed in their ILM units.
Selected delegates also attended a practical one day neuro linguistic programming workshop, giving them the opportunity to try out innovative techniques for business leadership, development, coaching and personal excellence. The workshop consisted of a mixture of individuals, pairs and group work, with an emphasis on experiential learning.
The flexibility of the above approach offered considerable benefits for TWFRS and the delegates. They gained a wide range of recognised qualifications, applied their learning in a consultative and collaborative environment, received individual and group support and undertook both face to face and distance learning approaches which supported the limitations of their availability due to the nature of their work. Delegates were delighted by the detailed feedback they received which greatly supported their learning.
Leadership and Management
The Eliesha Distance Learning College delivers accredited training qualifications to organisations and individuals within both the public and private sectors throughout the UK.
In consideration of the needs and commitments of the organisation and their staff, the Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service decided to use a distance learning approach.
Eliesha consulted with the Service to identify a suitable qualification and relevant units which supported the client needs. We offered an ILM Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management qualification and the client selected the following units:
Formal written assignments were completed for each of the units in compliance with the requirements of the awarding body.
The programme was supported by the Eliesha Accredited Centre Team who managed and administered the programme from registration to certification. Throughout the process, the Eliesha tutor provided dedicated email and telephone support regarding each assignment to ensure the learning material was understood and the assignments were successfully completed.
“The information received from the tutor marking my work has been invaluable. The Eliesha team have always been most helpful and speedy when I've had to make any enquiries. I have recommended Eliesha as a training provider to my HR and Training department.”
