Accredited qualifications are an efficient and effective way to provide managers with the knowledge, skills and confidence to successfully navigate the complex task of leadership responsibility in a modern organisation. Whether they are studied to prepare high potential employees for future roles, provide important tools for middle management or build the strategic mindset of a senior leader, completing qualifications is an important and prestigious achievement at any stage of a management career.
Why?
Leadership and management is an extremely popular area of accredited professional study because of the benefits for both individuals and their wider organisation. The managers themselves gain the confidence and competence to thrive (rather than just survive) in their varied roles, learning tried-and-tested methods to apply to their challenges, and a widely-respected, third party endorsement of this competence which will stay with them for the remainder of their careers.
Qualifications are available from levels 3-7, reflecting the different competencies and skills which are important at the different levels of organisational management and leadership. Your learning programme may cover, for example:

From the employer perspective, qualified managers bring about benefits throughout an organisation; whether maximising productivity in their teams, creating a more inclusive workplace or delivering successful change projects, the positive impact of an accredited leader spreads far and wide.

How?
Studying for a professional qualification alongside an existing role requires an engaging, supportive and flexible learning programme which fits around and within existing responsibilities. We can provide the learning environment that suits our accredited learners perfectly, and we are committed to providing the exact amount and nature of learning support that they need.
Face-to-face learning programmes feature a series of interactive, in-person workshops, delivered to a cohort of learners by an experienced tutor. Learners have access to a dedicated section of Eliesha’s Learning Management System (LMS) to help them prepare for each workshop, complete/submit their assessed work and communicate with their tutor, fellow learners and Eliesha’s Learning Support Team.
(Minimum and maximum numbers apply, open cohorts available).
Virtual programmes follow the same learning pattern as above, but workshops are delivered in an online virtual learning environment which uses all the functionality of the latest meeting software to create an interactive, engaging and safe online classroom. Learning support is similarly provided via a dedicated space on Eliesha’s LMS.
(Minimum and maximum numbers apply, open cohorts available).
Distance Learning involves individual self-learning guided by comprehensive learning materials and the support of a dedicated personal tutor. Eliesha’s LMS is deployed to host supportive resources, which are worked through at the learners’ desired pace.
(No minimum numbers apply, organisations can group multiple distance learners together to enable social learning discussion/collaboration and group learning support sessions from a single tutor).
